Everyone,
I have an idea for a tutorial but I'm not sure that it is technical possible. My goal is to create a tutorial in which explicit instructions are on the LHS of a page and a flash file is on the RHS that plays through the instructions. The user would click step 1 (or perhaps a 'Begin' link) to begin the tutorial and the tutorial would play all the way through to the end if the user doesn't interrupt it. If the user decides to interrupt it, for example, to replay step 4, the user would click Step 4 in the LHS, the flash file would navigate to some bookmark, begin playing step 4, and continue playing to the end unless the user again chooses to interrupt it. Icing on the cake would be that each step in the LHS would be highlighted or marked in some way when it is being shown in the Flash file. I know some of this is typical Flash behavior-click a link to launch a flash file. However, my question is, can hyperlinks be set up so that they start a flash file at a location besides the beginning? Can a flash file even be bookmarked? Right now, I'm using FrameMaker 9.0 (windows XP Pro) and plan to embed a flash file into an FM document to see whether this can be done.. Is FM even the right tool to be using for this?
