The flash tutorials in the Cafu Wiki have been created using the DebugMode Wink software by Satish Kumar. Wink is freely available and works very well.
Wink is an excellent tool for creating flash tutorials especially for the Cafu World Editor “CaWE”.

The second screenshot shows the mouse cursor hovering over the menu item to be selected, which is also highlighted at that time. With both screenshots, a frame delay of 0.5 seconds works well, or 0.8 seconds for emphasis.Keeping the design and style of all Cafu tutorials consistent makes sure that the user experiences a familiar look-and-feel of the tutorial environment whenever he or she works through another tutorial. This way, the user can concentrate on the contents of the tutorial rather than getting confused by its GUI or controls.
