Camtasia Studio Components for Macromedia Flash MX

Camtasia Studio Components for Macromedia Flash MX (and Flash MX 2004) provide Flash developers with an easy way to incorporate and control Camtasia Studio SWF files in Flash MX. Flash developers use Camtasia Studio to quickly record screen videos to create Flash-based software demos, tutorials and Web-based help. These components were built to be used with Camtasia Studio SWF files but can also be used to control other linear SWF files.

Camtasia Studio Components in a Nutshell

Movie Loader Component

Drag and drop your Movie Loader onto your Flash stage to easily reference your Camtasia Studio-created SWF file. Simply type in the URL to the SWF file without writing any ActionScript. Optionally incorporate an animated preloading SWF file.

Movie Controller Component

Use the Movie Controller to "scrub" back and forth in the Camtasia Studio-created SWF file. Customize the optional Play, Pause and Stop buttons, Fast Forward and Rewind buttons and a file information box.

Movie Duration Component

Add the Movie Duration Component to show the duration and the elapsed time of the SWF file on the stage while the movie plays.

System Requirements

To use the Components, you need:

• Flash MX authoring tool.
• Playback for the Camtasia Studio Components includes Flash Player 5 and higher.
• SWF files that are created with Camtasia Studio or other linear SWF files.

Download the Components

Both download files include the Movie Loader, Movie Controller and Movie Duration Controllers.
