Last night I pushed the newest addition to SlideSix - a slick new presentation viewer built with Flex. Here is a screenshot that gives an overview of the viewer and it's functionality. CFPresentation worked out very well for a while, but I was starting to feel limited by the fact that the viewer itself isn't very customizable. The presos were also starting to get pretty large in file size and I really needed a solution that allowed a single viewer which retrieved content on the fly instead of writing everything to disk. I'm quite happy with the results. Here is the viewer (forgive me for not putting together a proper presentation introducing it):

The preso used in the screenshot above is a pretty comprehensive example (except for the lack of an attachment). Check it out.

Next up is a Flex based slide uploader/manager/media recorder.

Joshua Cyr's Gravatar I think the quality of display is better too. Lets not forget the very best presentation on your site: http://slidesix.com/view/Top-12-Reasons-to-go-on-R...

:-)

todd sharp's Gravatar Yes the quality is a touch better. The viewer now serves up raw images as opposed to converting each slide to an individual SWF.

And yeah, that is the best preso! Hazaa!

Gareth Arch's Gravatar Really cool app. Even better than your old presentation app. Very clean overall. I did happen to come across one bug while tinkering. If you click the "stop" button in the "Slide media" window without any flv file loaded, it throws an error.

todd sharp's Gravatar Thanks for pointing that out Gareth.
