You can go with Flash on this, or even something like

<gulp>MS Powerpoint</gulp>...  just depends on how

fancy you want to get and how professional the

presentation needs to be.


For my situation, Flash started out ok, but for a

lengthy presentation with lots of screen shots

involved, etc, it ran much to slow on our presenter's

laptops, and looked different, if not bad, on

different resolutions due to BMP scaling.  Plus, I had

to build every transition and for a 45 min presention

with tons of slides, that takes forever.  God forbid

you need to make a change to that transition,

throughout the presentation.


These same laptops have no problem running PowerPoint

(PPT) presentation, with audio/video, and the scaling

is quite nice, so that's the route I've ended up

taking.


Plus, if you are fairly new to flash, creating a

presentation with nice transitions, navigation, etc,

can take quite some time, whereas in PPT you can

select/change a transition or animation instantly,

with no coding/changes.


Again, I think Flash gives a professional

touch/quality to the animations, transitions, etc, but

in MY case, PPT has worked out for the better.  


Unfortunately my presentations are internal and not

for public viewing... but that's my 2 cents on the

real-world issues I ran in to.
