Answer To The Difficulty Debate - Part 2

Okay, this has been more frustrating than I thought. I created a simple Flash Application which I separated into Screens (I used the term because teachers would be familiar with it, from PowerPoints). Each screen (and there are 4) has it's own elements on it, one has text and an image, another has just text, another has text and a video and another has text and an animation. The idea being is that the teacher can duplicate the screen that they need, then pull it onto the stage where it can be adjusted to their own needs. That, in theory, is quite simple, in practice is very different.

I've had the notion that the teacher should already have some basic knowledge of flash, but should they have to? If the answer is no, I must create some sort of user guide for them to know how to change the various parts and get them to know how to move around the Flash Environment (risking countless confusion), if the answer is yes, then that severely limits the use of the template.

This has been quite a struggle.

I've now come to the conclusion that this template should be used by people with basic Flash knowledge but without the time to get in and create something from scratch, but for those with little or no experience of Flash, it would probably be best to use a software with a much higher "user-friendliness" than Flash, such as Adobe Captivate.
