Hi everyone

I'm trying out a new format for my tutorials. They are going to be html based with different sections on different pages. The text of the tutorials is on the html page so that it is searchable, able to be indexed and easily modified by non-flashers. The pages will also be SCOs (shareable content objects) so that more tutorial pages can be shared in different tutorials - eg a surgical condition tutorial can include a page from the relevant anatomy tutorial.

This is the first draft of a new tutorial in this format. I know I have work to do on the animations but would appreciate comments about the new format, navigation, loading times, are the tutorials understandable?

I would also like suggestions about reducing download times. Things I am considering -
- reducing the mp3 voice over quality
- loading up the animations out of view on the previous page so that while one is playing the next is loading up or variations on this theme.
- getting rid of the 3d and hand drawing the graphics... as in my other tutorials.

Please compare to the older tutorials (under tutorials in the menu strip) if you have time.

Thanks

Chris
