Re: FLASH: 45 min. Presentation - in flash?

[Hal Medrano]

Part of my job involves doing exactly this.  There're a number of business

executives bored to tears with Powerpoint who're just wowed when they see

what they can do with Flash.  I've done 30+ minute presentations with no

probs.  Make sure your playback computer is fast enough to smoothly handle

any transitions you want to create.  Otherwise, it's all fairly simple

Flash work...and believe me,there's a market for it.


I've got several examples, all between 800k. and 2.5 mb in size.  If you

want me to send you one, email me directly, I'll be happy to.
