I'm a designer and never have learned to use Flash. I don't have time to get into all the technical aspects of the application. I use a Mac and need to put together a CD with our latest catalog on PDF, Photos of our facility and videos of our products. This needs to be accessed from a auto-start-up page for PC. I have the auto-start-up taken care of, it just how to create the SWF file that is killing me. Does anyone have suggestions as to what app I can use to create a file that can be exported as a flash page for this project? I'm downloading a trial version of iWork in hopes that Keynote will be able to do it. I've tried an old version but it doesn't seem to do what I want.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

the newest version of Keynote can export to swf. I don't know if it will auto advance or if it has to be clicked through. I haven't done it in a while, and don't have iWork on my work machine. You should be able to do what you need to do with it though.

Bummer, I just loaded the 09 version and there's no option to export to "Flash". Only Quicktime, PPT, PDF, Images, HPML & iPod. Am I missing something?

Just did some checking around, and no export to flash in 09. you'll need 08 to do it.
