How did you like the Flash demos?
06/12/2008 03:26:42 PM | Chris Toohey | Bethlehem, PA
Yesterday I tried something different (for me anyways): I published a quick demo of something that I'm cooking up using the Microsft Web Browser Object Control that I've been talking about these last few days. The difference with yesterday's demo was, instead of using simple images trying to show you what I was talking about, I used Jing and posted two Flash screencasts.
Now, the embedding was totally screwy, but I think that by using these screencasts I was able to quite effectively communicate what I was doing in less than a minute. More importantly, the prep work involved was around five minutes from the start of the recording to it's publication (while Jing limits you to 5 minute videos, it's a pretty slick little application).
But I'm not too sure - were the Flash demos as effective as I am assuming? What were your thoughts with the screencast? Should I have included a voiceover?

A moving picture is almost always better for demo-ing interactive GUI's. I recommend though that you consider rendering at a smaller screensize. I couldn't really see the big picture on my 1024x768 laptop screen.

@Roland: Totally agreed! I want them to be - ideally - 640x480, so they can be directly viewable on the "body" section of this site's layout. Not too sure Jing can do that though...

They were great! But I was waiting for some of that famous Toohey wit and witticism. I thought something was wrong with my speakers. ;-)

They Flash demo's were great! Even better when I figured out to go to full screen to see the whole picture. the inline version didn't show everything.

The only thing missing was audio, to explain what you were doing. :-)
