Wink is an amazing tool to make tutorial. There are 2 tutorials provided with the software. They are useful to start using the software. So initially, you must spend about 1h to figure out how to use the tool properly. The purpose of this tutorial is not to replace those delivered with the product, but to provide a reminder to those who don’t use the tool very often (like me).

• Once we start wink the following window is displayed. We must start a new project to begin to use the software:

• Then we must choose what to capture: it can be the full screen, a window, etc. We will select the window option. Then we must click the choose button to select the window to capture. Once the window is choosen a green border is displayed around it as shown below:

• The next step is to minimize wink (click the button minimize to tray on shown on the picture below). The important information for capture is in this window. If we want to take a snapshot, we hit the pause key. And if we want to capture an input driven operation, we use alt-pause to start/stop the capture process :

• Once the application is minimized, the wink icon is shown in the tray:

• Use pause to take snapshot, or alt-pause to capture input-driven sequences
• Once finished select finish capture on the menu given by the wink menu on the tray:

• The wink interface is displayed with 3 area: screen area showing the capture screen, the thumbnail area at the bottom, and the tool area at the left that will be use to create the tutorial:

• Use the tool area to add textarea explanation and navigation arrow:

• Once finished, we must render the project, clicking on
• Then to complete our work and view the flash animation we click on
