corporate communications
Have any of you out there used Flash for corporate communications. Was approached yesturday by the company president to come up with a way to distribute his presentation to a good three hundred remote people. The trick was that whatever format we go with it couldn't be duplicated.
I thought that the best solution would be Flash. I could videotape the presentation then strip out the audio track and export it as a series of wav files. Figure it will be much lighter this way versus a straight video file (the presentation will be about an hour long, which I don't think would be viable for video...especially on our network). In Flash, I would sync up the wav files with PowerPoint slides from the presentation. The thing would in essence be a sooped up Powerpoint presentation with narration. There are still bugs to be worked out, like what to do when the president goes on for any amount of time with no corresponding slide. I can picture this happening. If this was video, I would switch over to footage of him speaking but am unsure of how a still would work. Fear it would look goofy.
Anyway, I'm sure that what I'm describing is done all the time for corporate communications and projects like that. Has anyone seen examples of projects like this on the web that they could steer me to? I would like to see how others have handled similar material, and see if I can come up with some best practices.
Thank you,
Brian

You might want to actually look into captivate for doing something like that. We put presentations that can be up to 2 hrs long on line using it and you could directly import the powerpoint slides and audio into it and it would output a SWF and HTML page.
