Flash like Powerpoint?

Hi all,

My boss is into PowerPoint presentations - big time! But, due to size and other factors, they are not suitable for posting on our sites.

I bought Flash MX 2004 hoping to emulate the PP presentations but am having a little trouble. Having done the tutorials I’m still not equipted (mentally) to put this together… :\

What it will consist of is a narration track - no problem I can import that track into the library and then the stage - and many photos and illustrations that must appear (fade in and out smoothly) to audio cues. Whew! This has turned out to be a real booger to put together - as I have no Flash skills at all.

What I’m doing is listening to the audio track - then, when I hear the cue, I set a new layer for that photo and create a keyframe - and so on and so on.

The hardest part for me has been making the nice little alpha fade from one pic into the next and still hit the audio cue.

A friend said to post here and maybe someone could heop but suggesting an Action Script (?) that would automatically fade one photo into another and or suggest a tutorial or method to achieve what I’m trying to accomplish. :slight_smile:

Thanks!
