As you've probably guessed, WidgetFactory 5's main feature is that it fully supports Captivate 5 and all the new widgety features that come with it (see below). However, the good news is that it is still fully compatible with Captivate 4. In fact, many of the new features in WidgetFactory 5 work with Captivate 4 as well.

If you're too excited to read further, and just have to download it right now, here's the link:

Greetings people! A few posts ago you may recall I alluded to finishing a rather sizeable course that would be available to the general public. Well it's finally here, and we are happy to announce the release of Boulder Dodge with Object Oriented Programming! This course was a joint venture between Infosemantics and well known training website CartoonSmart. CartoonSmart specialises in courses for Adobe Flash (Although recently they've started branching out into other products). I personally learnt Flash from CartoonSmart, so I was very happy to give something back. This course is about ActionScript (the coding language behind Adobe Flash), specifically the ins and outs of writing ActionScript as classes, and how to take advantage of the Object Oriented Programming abilities they provide you. In order to teach you this, throughout the course we progressively build a game called Boulder Dodge (heh, heh, heh). You can play it here.

Hello all, Since we have our new site up and running I suppose it's time for me to introduce myself. I am Tristan, son of Rod and I specialise in Flash animation, ActionScripting, video editing, and software tutorials. I'll be bringing you some tutorials from my various interests, but a majority of them should be about Captivate, because it's the main tool we use in our e-learning projects. If you would like to see one of my tutorials, please stop by the Tutorials page where there is a 25 minute lesson on creating a drawing tool in ActionScript 3.
