1.  WHAT ARE THE CAMTASIA STUDIO COMPONENTS FOR MACROMEDIA FLASH MX?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  
Camtasia Studio Components for Macromedia Flash MX provide Flash developers 
with an easy way to incorporate and control Camtasia Studio SWF files in 
Flash MX. 

Flash developers use Camtasia Studio to quickly record screen videos to 
create Flash-based software demos, tutorials and Web-based help. These 
components were built to be used with Camtasia Studio SWF files but can also 
be used to control other linear SWF files. 

The three Camtasia Studio Components are: 

  o  Movie Loader  
     Drag and drop your Camtasia Studio-created SWF file onto the Flash 
     MX stage. Simply type in the URL to the SWF file without writing any 
     ActionScript. Optionally incorporate an animated preloading SWF file.

  o  Movie Controller
     Use the Movie Controller to "scrub" back and forth in the Camtasia 
     Studio-created SWF file. Customize the optional Play, Pause and Stop 
     buttons, Fast Forward and Rewind buttons and a file information box.
     You can optionally show the duration and elapsed time of the SWF on
     stage while the movie plays.
  
  o  Movie Duration
     Show the duration and the elapsed time of the SWF file on the stage 
     while the movie plays.

6.  WHAT IS NEW IN THIS VERSION?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

  v1.0.4
    o  The Movie Controller component can now display the duration and elapsed
       time of the SWF movie as part of the controller interface.  This reflects
       The same controller that is exported from Camtasia Studio 1.1.
    o  Minor changes to the code that monitors the SWF download.

  v1.0.3 
    o  The Movie Loader component now rounds it's X and Y coordinates to a
       whole number at runtime.  This eliminates the main cause of artifacts
       in your SWF movie.
    o  Fixed an issue where the rewind button would not rewind a movie 
       all the way to frame 1 in some instances.
    o  Fixed an issue where the minimum duration time and the % to preload 
       values in the Movie Loader interface were not saved.
    o  Changed the behavior of Autostart movie so that if you display a 
       loading movie and the main movie does not autostart then once the 
       main movie has preloaded it will be paused on frame 1. Previously 
       the loading movie would be displayed until the user pressed play.

  v1.0.2 
    o  Fixed an issue where the About Box would not display centered 
       on the screen for small movies or while the loading movie was
       being displayed.
    o  Changed behavior of scrubbing through a movie when it has a 
       Movie Finished Handler. Now, the Movie Finished Handler is called
       only after the user releases the mouse button at the end of the
       movie.
    o  Changed behavior of the Autostart setting.  If Autostart is 
       disabled, the movie will being playing when the users clicks the 
       play button.
          
  v1.0.1  Initial release.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
7.  KNOWN PROBLEMS OR LIMITATIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

  o  The keyboard shortcuts of CTRL+C and CTRL+V are not supported in the 
     component windows. All copy and paste commands must be done through
     right-clicking.

  o  When you set the location of a Camtasia Studio-created SWF file on 
     the Flash MX stage, make sure that the values you enter for the X and 
     Y coordinates in the Properties window are whole numbers. If these 
     are decimal values, you may see artifacts on the screen when the movie 
     plays back.
