FLASH: Any knowledge of how Macromedia help movies were done?

[Scott Wilkinson]

I can't help but be impressed by the help movies Macromedia created for the

Flash and Dreamweaver help files. Watching them, I started wondering how

they were executed.


The movies incorporate all kinds of typical operations like choosing a menu,

selecting a menu item, dialog boxes opening up, etc.


I'm wondering if they made those movies by doing a million screen caps of

every menu, highlight bar, etc. and assembling them all in Flash? Or was

there some other way of actually recording actions (ala Lotus ScreenCam) and

somehow incorporating the results into the Flash movie? (I'm also assuming

the movies were done in Flash, but I guess they could be Shockwave...?)
