What exactly is flash paper?
Is it a component?
- JazX0
It seems cool right? I believe it ships with Contribute, the tool that enable you to upload normal text that is converted into HTML. I mean shit, it even works with AutoCAD for you engineers out there. It seems that Contribute has some tools that allow you to export in this format.
- JazX0
meaning take any document that Contribute already supports such as Word .doc etc, and it converts it to Flash format for you and I believe stays in that unique player. It looks similar to Macromedia Breeze for e-learning as well.

Is there anyway to add link within the file?
- JazX0
well I am sure, Contribute has this option, however, it might enbedd it if lets say you already have the link set up in Word. get me?

Until you can send it through email and print the file ... it might not catch on well with non-flashers like a PDF.
- JazX0
yeah your right, it's just something they do for specific projects. works a bit like Macromedia Breeze in that it converts one format into Flash, like Breeze does it for Powerpoint and keeps the same actions but makes it FLash like. get me?

still seems pointless to me.
I can't figure out a setting where flash paper would work better than pdf.
- JazX0
hmm, well it may work better with webpages for showing info quicker and relying on the fact that maybe more of an audience has a Flash Player installed over Acrobat.

Is there any way to get Fla. file?
- unfittoprint0
man, with Macromedia's software release speed and wide range of its products, I can see a new Microsoft growing...
- JazX0
yeah they are psychos he hee, no not .fla based I don't think although they might have some sort of option where you can export to that. not sure

ei J, when is LoopKit's official 'opening'?
- JazX0
haaa, thanks for asking. I would say probably Monday, if I can get my lazy ass to finally embedd the .wav files into proper previews. ;)
- unfittoprint0
you'll embed all those wav in flash? damn.... that a shitload of work!
I know mp3 quality isn't better but you could dinamically load their mp3 version. And Flash 6.079 can even read ID3 tags for their names names, auhor , etc...

just downloaded contribute 2 trial version. flashpaper is as it says on the tin.. very very good for you.
I know acrobat has dozens of features, but to share one single document flashpaper is the way.
I hate the way acrobat spawns when you click on a pdf link on a page. all that effort just to read a few pages. besides.. flash paper's, flash printer gives you less hassle than creating a pdf with adobe acrobats pdf printer or acrobat itself.
I printed one of my image heavy word documents, not only did it retain the crispness of the images.. the file size was FAR smaller than PDF.. nice one macromedia..
- JazX0
therefore you have a good retort kpl, maybe this is why they did it/
- JazX0
ps, unfittoprint, yep this sound loading shit is a pain in the rear for sure, takes about 5 minutes for each button.
- JazX0
I see that an upgraded version comes with Contribute 2 as well
- JazX0
no it's pretty good, I was working with it yesterday, it compresses images well and handles them nicely.
