It won't allow you to customize everything in the player but it does allow you to add extra outline tabs or tabs at the top. What is does do is give you access to a number of commands so that you can create your own SWFs and embed them within the player. The customized work can be saved in a template and used by others. I'd encourage you to look at the <a href="http://www.articulate.com/products/presenter-sdk.php" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> on the Articulate site. It gives a pretty clear idea of what you can and cannot do. The full documentation is almost identical except that it gives you the valid commands and includes examples and FLAs. Hope that helps.

Does is use ActionScript 2.0 or 3.0? Also, does it allow someone if they have the appropriate skill level with Flash/Actionscript to modify and customize any part of the Player Shell, or just certain parts? Can the customized swf be saved in a template (for example if I have the SDK installed and I make a custom player, can the rest of my team who does not have the SDK use my customized player when they publish?)? Thanks for any clarification! Hi Dave,

I don't use Flash myself. I generally use Sothink's SWF Quicker when I want to use the SDK. As far as wondering if it is difficult to use, it really depends what you want to do. If you want to create custom made Flash buttons to navigate within the Articulate player, then that is "quite" easy. You just need to use the ActionScript available in the SDK. If you want to redesign tabs, then that will require a little more work. Hope that helps a little and be sure to get back with your ideas!

I'm no Flash developer (I have used Flash to create some very simple animations, but that's about the extent of my experience), and I'm wondering whether or not it's something I'm likely to be able to teach myself. Any advice would be much appreciated. Jade ps it was great meeting you at the conference last week - I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did. Hi Dave,
