Flasher – Powerpoint Alternative
May 8, 2008 by jared
What’s New
Current version: 1.2
- Even more transition options.
- Improved performance
- Full screen now centralizes regardless of resolution.
- Download Flasher 1.2
Version: 1.1
- Open Settings in the library and customize your transitions.
Keyboard buttons will not work in full screen mode from the browser. To bypass this, open Flasher.swf locally.
Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full-screen mode. All keyboard input and keyboard-related ActionScript is disabled while in full-screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts (such as pressing the Esc key) that return the application to normal mode.

yeah! i want it! I´m having a presentation next week and this will be awesome
You´ll put the file available for download? Thanks
No, No code for you!
code? eventually, but not yet!
fran: use the contact page above to send me an email and i’ll send you a copy.
were can i get a copy of flasher.
i’ve put up the link. keyboard in full screen in the brwoser doesnt work, for now. however if you open it locally, it works.
man, you rock!! thanks!!
update: download the new version to customize your transitions.
when i set it to full screen it doesn’t centralize
I downloaded Flasher v1.2 per the link up top and upon opening, have all the elements in the library, but nothing on the stage and no code anywhere.
thats right, setup your slides in Slideshow.fla, hit ctrl + enter to generate Slideshow.swf, then run Flasher.swf
So there’ nothing on the stage at all. When you say, “setup your slides in Slideshow.fla”, am i just dropping the mc’s in preferred order on the stage, then dragging the arrow buttons from the library to the stage and giving them instance names as well? Just kinda confused as to how everything works. Need some clarification.
Nothing should be on the stage except maybe a background graphic or movieclip. Instructions are all in Readme.pdf. Flasher.swf is the engine that drives slideshow.swf
i wanna learn to do this, can i have The source code..?
is it okay if i change the Slideshow.fla size? i wanna using 800×600 or 1024×768 for my presentation..
A breath of fresh air.
Enjoyed this one.
Flash Player 10 enables arrow keys use when in full screen =D so now we can use them
I like the Flasher better than Powerpoint, but it does not work when you compile it as an executable. Has anyone else been able to get an executable prolector to run Flasher?
it should work as a projector, i’ve used it for a couple of presentations.. change your publish settings? anyway hang in there full source code and update coming soon.
Thanks for the quick response, I believe it’s not working as a projector because it depends on the external Flasher.swf file. I’ll wait for the update.
Thanks
Mike
oh you can also open up the swf with Flash Player (Not Flash IDE), click on File > Create Projector
It seems that anyway you do it, you have two files. The slideshow and the flasher.exe or swf. I was hoping to make a single file. But, I must say very nice piece of work.
Thanks
