TYPO3 Flash Tutorials

I have just come across a very helpful and easy to use Open Source program called WINK to create flash demonstrations. The saying says: "a picture is worth a thousand words" and with Typo3 it is definitely true.

All the Flash tutorials can also be viewed at the Enomaly Team site and they are also available as PDF files

My Wink sources files are available to translate into other languages.
I have zipped up all the files and if you are interested in translating them into your language please contact me for the zipped file.

So far they are being translated into Dutch.

^{April 27/06}
WINK v2 has just been released and it can now also handle sound and multiple callouts.

I also came across a handy little program called SIZER that helps resizing a webpage to one that will be used for WINK tutorials. The program is available here.
