FlashHelp Benefits
Create cross-browser, cross-platform Help systems. FlashHelp leverages the flexibility and reliability of Flash technology to ensure consistent appearance and behavior of your Help system across popular browsers and platforms.
Load content faster. FlashHelp's unique blend of Flash and XML maximizes performance to provide smooth, rapid display of Help content, even over low-bandwidth connections.
Eliminate conflicts with firewalls. By leveraging the power of Flash, FlashHelp eliminates any need for Java. All FlashHelp content passes easily through firewalls, so your Help system is always accessible to the end-user.
Integrate with your application. In addition to the traditional tri-pane Help system layout, FlashHelp can generate an innovative, vertical orientation. This minimizes the screen area required, so the Help system can be easily embedded directly into an application's interface. It can also float as a small, independent browser window or share a single browser window with a Web application.
Include Flash animation and audio. FlashHelp allows you to create dynamic Help systems that feature vibrant animation and compelling audio.
Customize your Help system's appearance. Use Macromedia Flash to customize your Help system to match your application, or select a pre-designed look from RoboHelp's extensive gallery of FlashHelp skins.
No need to know Flash. FlashHelp can be easily generated with RoboHelp without requiring any Flash programming knowledge. The included FlashHelp gallery offers a broad variety of pre-designed skins.
