Pictures + Audio + Flash = Online Slide Shows
I still have much to learn, but my multimedia slide shows are getting better. I can put them together manually in Flash but they're usually pretty basic. I really wanted to get slick.
Here's one I made today, using photos and audio from a press conference yesterday. It's slick This guy, who just had a heart transplant like 10 days ago, was a HOOT.
Man Born at Emory University Hospital
Becomes Hospital's 500th Heart Transplant Patient
I built the slide show using this great Flash component called Slide Show Pro. It was only $30 and basically lets you create a fully customizable Flash slide show that uses ActionScript to interact with an XML file which in turn pulls in all your images, captions, audio, links, etc. So once you've create the "bones" of it, most changes are done by changing the XML file, not the Flash (although that's easy, too).
Here's another feature I built using the same technology, only this is a library of medical podcasts produced by ReachMD. It's note quite finished but I'll probably have it done by tomorrow.
ReachMD: Expert Audio
If you're a med-nerd, ReachMD can be pretty interesting. It's actually an XM radio channel for doctors.
