Using FlashDemoBuilder to create a tutorial for XPCharting

I have been looking at a few demo building tools recently and decided to give FlashDemoBuilder a go.

You can see the result here MY FirstChart.

Overall the experience was good, easy to install, easy to use and the end result is not to bad even if not perfect. There were a few glitches, it sometimes picks up the mouse or key click late so for example the menu has closed before the screen says "click here" same for some dialogs boxes. It also consumes a lot of disk space whilst recording the demo I built used over 1GB during building. Occasionaly it was also reluctant to stop recording.

Having said that it did exactly what it was supposed to and editing the timeline and adding in new objects was really simple.

I plan on trying a couple more demo building applications in the next few days to get a comparison. I will try to blog about them all.

I would be interested in hearing what you use.
