With professional talk bubble style settings you can display annotated text
across multiple frames and display text only when the mouse is moved over
an associated hotspot. These styles allow the viewer to explore your
demo at their own pace, visually providing information specifically on topics that
are of interest to them.
As an example, move the mouse over this demo:

With professional hotspot style settings you can increase the level of
interactivity with the viewer. Hotspot hyperlinks to other web pages
or to other frames within the same demo allow you to give the viewer full
control over their learning experience. You can also set up question and
answer type demos or even add multiple choice scenarios.
Here is an example of a multiple choice demo:

The professional version also has automatic callout text navigation which
adds a Next and Back arrow at the bottom of your talk bubble. This
option allows the viewer to control the pace of your presentation. The
Back arrow button takes the viewer to the previous talk bubble. The Next
arrow button skips the remaining talk bubble delay and continues the
presentation. The fast rewind <<
and fast forward >> buttons in
the Flash playback controls will find the previous or next talk bubble
in your presentation.
The navigation between callout text is automatically controlled by Instant Demo.
If you add or delete a callout, Instant Demo will automatically update the
navigation links. The benefit of this feature is the presentation can be viewed
at a pace that suits the viewer. It will never be too fast or too slow, ensuring
the presentation is useful and compelling for the audience.
This simple demonstration shows how you can choreograph a tutorial to give
a realistic response to user input. In this example click on the
'Sound' and 'Text' buttons to switch between different scenes in the
tutorial.
