Fresh off the presses…

Flypaper has many new features and is much faster and more reliable. We also have nearly 100 new Models ready for you to try including: image galleries, cube galleries, word puzzles, multiple choice questions and a set of interactive presentations based on what we call The Revolver.

New since Beta II

* Output your story as a video to play on your video iPod or on popular sites like MySpace, YouTube and Facebook. Flypaper will turn your animations into movies (.flv, .mpg and .mp4)
* You can use the video trimmer (Tools/video) to take just the parts of other videos you want to use in your story.
* Publish to Community is faster and easier. And on the community you can see all the stories you have published before and delete the old ones.
* Publish Settings dialogue that makes it easier to customize your Story’s output.
* Edit/Undo – that’s right you can correct your errors in two clicks (or ctrl-z).
* Updater – easily update to the latest version of Flypaper. Don’t worry we won’t spam you with updates, we only ask when you start Flypaper, and you can turn it off.
* SCORM 1.2 conformance for e-learning stories.
* And many, many more…

So come see us at Flypaper.net and be the first in your company to create Stories that Stick.

Tired of manually rounding off your pixel fonts? Me too!
Finally, a simple UI for rounding off coordinates and/or dimensions.

Cool thing indeed. Simple, works well, makes me happy. Support it with a download and/or comment.
