RE: FLASH: using flash for a presentation

I do it all the time - main thing you have to know is what machine the

presentation will be running on as it will alter performance considerably,

so check up on it. The better the graphics card the smoother it will run,

you'll have to alter the fps accordingly.


Other issues to watch out for are colour and contrast, especially when text

is involved - test on your projector. But stick to light on dark or dark on

light. 


The final and most important thing is to storyboard the whole project well

in advance - and get all the copy you can. If you going to apply text fx to

things make sure you know it won't get changed last minute - and get hold of

Swish, it's a time saver and a half.


If you must use raster graphics use low res for dynamic ones - or if you're

moving stuff over (or below/around)  it, stills can be pretty high res -

music sounds better off from a CD, I wouldn't bother encoding it in. But try

and time the presentation to fit in with the music you're using....it's

looks very cool...again...experiment with the fps.


Use the projector with an FS command to set it full screen rather than in a

browser - if possible.....


Anything else..drop me a line.
