Instant Demo v5.0 also introduces the Instant Demo Flash player, which enables full screen Flash presentations with a \'clean\' interface for your movie without the presence of buttons and control bars. The Instant Demo Flash player can be automatically switched between full screen and window modes, and can exit automatically when the movie finishes.
Instant Demo guides you smoothly through the demo creation process. With the simple and intuitive user interface you can create a complete movie ready for publishing in under 5 minutes. With two clicks of the mouse button you can export your screen recording to the Macromedia Flash format. The Flash movies are designed to stream over an Internet connection, so even a 50 minute presentation will begin to play immediately in the viewers\' browser, with no Flash pre-loader required.
Instant Demo takes full advantage of the interactive capabilities of Flash. A full set of playback controls with play, stop and seek functionality can be included.

The hotspots can also link to a different part of the movie, another web page or even load another Flash file. Instant Demo also provides a wide range of special effects to grab the viewer\'s attention. Callouts, highlights and cross fades add a professional touch to your final Flash presentation.
Whether you\'re a promoter who needs to create a self-running demo that prospects can view with their favorite web browser, a tech support person who needs to reduce support costs by providing self-study tutorials, or a software trainer who needs to create compelling Flash movies that explain how to use an application, Instant Demo v5.0 has the tools that you need.
