I was fiddling with Adobe Configurator to see if it would be a good medium for tutorials. I whipped this tutorial up in just a few minutes (it's just my old faux curtain tutorial, get excited about Configurator, not my tutorial).
It was 100% WYSIWYG and required no coding or scripting of any kind.
If you have Photoshop CS4 (sorry, earlier versions can't use it) just put the folder included in this zip file into your Panels directory. Then restart Photoshop CS4 and load it via the Window>Extensions menu.

Let me know what you think about this as a tutorial medium. I know it's a bit plain, Configurator offers no font formatting. But it's still in beta, so they might change that.
