PowerPoint to Flash

[Mama Kat]

There are a number of flash converters recommended on this board. Does
anyone know if any of the converters will give you a full screen presentation
and support hyperlinks to custom shows?
When converting to flash does the user lose the ability to click on a
hyperlink that transitions to a separate presentation or custom show?
I have many shows I'm considering converting to Flash. Can I do it all
myself or will I get better results if I hire a professional?
Thanks

I'd be really suprised if any convertor can convert everything and keep it
working.

Beware that there are a lot of convertors out there that do a poor job, so
be sure to test all the 'demos' first

That's really cool Steve - I'd not seen that before.

It would be really good to see the converted flash files from each vendor...
is that anywhere on the site (I could'ne find it)

Thanks Steve and TAJ. I downloaded the trial version of Articulate and
converted to Flash. It isn't near full screen, and it didn't keep the
hyperlinks. There may be a way to resolve this, but I don't know the program
well enough yet. Thanks for your suggestions.

Steve,
I hadn't heard of that Brandon-Hall site either.

Here's another list of software products that convert PowerPoint to Flash:

But definitely try out your files with the trial versions, or create a dummy
presentation containing all of the features you think you need, and test
that.
