=============================================
BitArts today announced the release of the world抯 first software delivery solution to support Flash based dialogs during the installation process.
The new product ?InstallWrap ?allows movies from either ShockWave Flash or Adobe LiveMotion to be embedded on the installation screens which is ideal for creating eye catching installs.
For powerful user interaction and feedback, InstallWrap will automatically detect variables in the Flash movies. These can be assigned to variables in InstallWrap which allow control or display information to the end user. An example might be a flash based progress bar showing the status of the installation or a button which can be pressed to launch another program.
John Safa, BitArts Founder and CTO commented: "This is a significant release from BitArts that embraces the widely used Flash technology from Macromedia. Particularly with large installations, the waiting process can often be dull and tedious. By displaying a flash movie during the installation, this is the perfect opportunity to market other products or services in a unique way.?
