The program converts:

• Graphics;
• Texts, including correct positioning, font sizes and colors;
• Graphical standard primitives (lines, circles, rectangles, etc.) for PowerPoint;
• Fly from left, Fly from right, Fly from bottom, Fly from top animation effects set to texts and graphics;
• Hyperlinks set on text objects and graphics;

into according objects of SWF format.

The program allows adding the following effects into generated SWF files:

• Fly from Left, Fly from Right, Fly from Bottom, Fly from Top, Dissolve, and Zoom to Nothing on slide transitions;
• Navigation buttons between slides with user defined colors;
• Select backgrounds using options;
• Automatically set reuse of the same backgrounds to minimize generated file size;
• Change linear sizes (height and width) of SWF presentation.

The program recognizes ActiveX objects, transforms convertible objects, deleting not convertible objects, increasing stability of presentations and eliminating potential crashes.

Depending on source presentation size, target presentation size is up to 4 times smaller while preserving the same quality.

Conversion is a simple 1-2-3 process:

1. Open MS PowerPoint presentation;
2. Save into Flash SWF format;
3. Preview results.

Using Preference and Inter-Slide Transition menus all the transition and animation effects can be selected.

An important program feature is generating a log file filename_layout.txt, where all parameters for generating JavaScript, used to control you presentation from an HTML (web) page. This feature is necessary when a user wants to use standard set of buttons from this program or to create a presentation with customized scenario. Parameters are numbers of first frames in each slide of the presentation.

Here you can have a look at a presentation sample.

KNOWN ISSUE AND RESTRICTION FOR CREATING POWERPOINT PRESENTATION FOR FUTURE CONVERTING TO SWF

1. Bullets were for us an issue and a subject of long discussions and disputes. All solutions had some types of limitations, some pros and cons. We've come to an optimal in multiple variables solution. It allows conversion of specific PowerPoint bullets, including those identified by a customer, but under a condition, that the symbol code is less than 255. Under specific bullets we mean those, listed in the form below.

2. When creating PowerPoint presentations for converting into Flash, all text frames and graphical objects must be within a slide area. Otherwise in the converted slide texts and objects can be incorrectly positioned, what can sometimes lead to freezing of Flash Player.

3. All fonts used in a PowerPoint presentation must be installed on a computer with the conversion application.

4. All graphics, inserted into a presentation must have linear sizes less than slide sizes (preferable).
