very cool and easy! great tutorial…
Wow! What a great presentation. Now I know I really NEED InDesign CS4.
But some questions since I don’t have the $ to buy the entire CS4 suite:
Can the user zoom in & out – without improvising it in Flash?
Can I create links anywhere on the indesign page, such as ads or text in a publication?
Thanks!!
Thanks for the comments!
DMurray – In answer to your question, Yes, you can create hyperlinks out of any object on the page. There is not a zoom control built into the flash presentation, but the user could right-click and zoom the file in the browser.
Wow! This could be a very powerful tool for proofing documents.
My question is can a standard 3 panel roll fold brochure created with Adobe Indesign be exported to Adobe Flash to show the folded brochure unfolding each panel by using arrows? Thanks for your help.
Does anyone know if it is possible and if so how can I get the swf file to automatically scale to the users screen so it shows all the document at a good size on different size monitors?
There are two issues:
1. How can the user increase the text size?
2. you can only print one page at a time, how can you print the entire document?
Thanks
Hi!
Thanks for the demonstration! It is great!
My question is, Can I import this to a Existing Flash document. I am doing my portfolio on flash and I have many of my works done in Adobe Indesign CS4. This would be a great feature to add to my portfolio.
Hi there, thanks for the tutorial. How can I add audio to this type of presentation?

I’ve done this and included videos as well but they don’t work in the browser. How do I view in browser with videos working? If I have to do it through Flash, how?
Cheers
