title: Using macromedia flash for electronic presentations: a new alternative.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article provides a step-by-step tutorial for creating electronic presentations using Macromedia Shockwave Flash, one of the recommended file formats for many radiologic society annual meetings, including the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although Flash and PowerPoint can be used for creating presentation slide shows, Flash is more appropriate for integrating and delivering animations for Internet applications such as radiologic electronic presentations. For this reason, detailed step-by-step instructions for creating Flash slide shows with common features such as text, images, arrows, buttons, movie loops, and transitions are provided. The approach used in this article is particularly appropriate for academic radiologists who have basic PowerPoint skills but lack programming experience.
