A note for reference: I learned that the best way to create a 'sexy animated demo' is to forget the Flash idea and simply create it in Xcode and Inteface Builder. For example, create a new Xcode project, ignore all business logic and data access programming, and simply code / build an working interface that can visualize a basic user case study example. Then run the Iphone Simulator, take a screen capture video (using Snapz Pro or Camtasia) and run your makeshift CheckOut build. Save it and voila - you have an animated demo video that looks like the real thing. In addition, I'd recommend SimFinger to beef up the Iphone Simulator with the iPhone4 shell. It also adds a 'finger' and some other tricks to make the demo video look better: http://github.com/atebits/SimFinger
