Why Flash based presentation?
If you want your PowerPoint presentations
make available everywhere, the best solution is to
convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash.
Flash is a popular platform independent
format. Converting your presentations to Flash format
enables you to playback your PowerPoint presentations
without installing Microsoft PowerPoint.
You can view the presentation in any internet
browser [You may need to have a flash plug-in for
the browser installed. But nowadays most of the browsers
come with built-in flash plug-in].
In most cases the size of the flash based
presentation will be lesser than that of the original
PowerPoint presentation. This allows you to distribute
your presentation over internet. Just upload the file
to any server, anyone can watch it.
You can send your PowerPoint file by email.
As the file size is smaller, it doesn't jam your recipient's
inbox. Also it retains all of your transitions, animations
and effects, while ensuring that the recipient can
see the file without loading other software like PowerPoint
Viewer.
Flash uses streaming technology. This
allows users to begin watching your presentation without
waiting for the entire presentation to download before
the playback begins.
This is an ideal format for distributing
PowerPoint presentation on CD-ROMs. It allows multi-platform
compatibility. It can be viewed on computers with
operating systems like Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris,
HP, SGI workstations, PDAs (PocketPCs, Windows Mobile,
PalmOS) and Handheld devices with integrated flash
player. It can also integrate audio and video while
displayed on different displays and resolutions. The
user can control the playback using controls for stop,
rewind, zoom etc.
On security front, others can edit PowerPoint
files if they have PowerPoint installed on their machine.
This is not the case for Flash files. They allow you
to maintain more control over your content.
Flash-based content has no problem going
through firewalls because it's like standard Web content.
In short Flash based presentations are
platform independent, easily accessible and distributable.
It makes your presentation independent of any additional
softwares.
