Is there a text document that is fail safe at explaining the process in lamemans terms(to someone computer illiterate)
Basicaly how to go about making their pc play the damn SWF.
I get into telling them about folder options and file types and they get totaly lost, so my emails are useless to them. Maybe a tutorial of SWF Tutoring?

been there myself :)

just tell "take the file, drag it and release it on the IE/NS icon, or inside a open window of one of the apps" that will do...i hope:).

:cool:

U need to go completely basic ! Brake it down ! :)

File = Piece of data (data is information in any form), specified with an extension (the .XXX after the filename (the name for the piece of data))

Drag = Use your mouse (that light, kinda mouselike device) and click (press the left button) and hold (do not take your finger off the button) and then move to the destination.

Release = let go off the mouse button.

IE/Ns = Internet Explorere / Netscape Navigator. An application (program used to do specific jobs) to browse the internet (insert a link cuz it might be hard to explain in one sentence)

Icon = small pictorial used to quickly identify certain filetypes or programs

Window = Graphical representation of a folder or other container and its contents (files and other folders).

apps = short for application. See IE/Ns for explanation

:D
