Feature Tour

[karass]

Hi there,

Does anyone know how Adobe feature tours are made?

When you visit a page there is a small swf loaded and when you click on it, swf expands (becomes bigger) and a new swf is loaded into it. I can probably get this done by hand, but I was just wondering if there is some automated software that compiles videos like that.

Thanks in advance,

Looks like it is a combination of flash + javascript/AJAX

I believe they do something like this:
- when the banner is clicked a javascript function is called
- the banner is closed and the div is expanded with javascript/css to the new height.
- a new flashmovie is loaded which shows the menubar scrolling down before loading the movie

And about the code ... try to rip the adobe site or better find a good AJAX library.
