Please tell me if any of the sites below is not a good testimony and please tell me why. Please reply to kennethwes@aol.com

Flash Presentations


Harvest Net

http://www.geocities.com/harnetmin/

An invitation from the owner: I leave you all with an address, feel free to come in and take what you need if you are into e-vangelism, these are for Christ's kingdom.


Cornerstone Sites

The below link will take you to the several more good evangelistic Flash sites. http://www.cornerstonesites.com/christshock/


Flash Resource: Dynimations

http://www.heartlight.org/ The folks at Heartlight have developed some excellent Flash presentations that could soup up an evangelistic Web site. They're available for viewing, and for downloading, at Heartlight's Dynimation site.

If you would like to see some awesome work in the area of Flash and Presentation type software check out the Dynamation work being done at http://www.heartlight.org/dynimation/ Some of it is free for download too.

They are also distributing a free on-line evangelism kit. It is a set of flash web pages with a gospel presentation. Any church of any denomination can host this on their own web site. It comes with a customization wizard that lets the church set the sponsored by and response details and links to its own evangelism contact email and info. Very advanced web strategy!

If you only have time to check out one Dynimation, I recommend "A Father's Love"

http://www.heartlight.org/dynimation/an_fatherslove.html.


Flash presentation available for download :

Walk of Love Risen: http://www.gieson.com/downloads/index.html


Campus Crusade for Christ

http://www.ccci.org/wyltkgp/flash.html

flash version of Would You Like to Know God Personally? - A Four Laws version using the term "principles" rather than "laws".


Bitter Journey: The way of the Cross

"Bitter Journey: the Way of the Cross" is an interesting Flash presentation of Jesus' passion and death, and might make a good resource for presenting scripture to a postliterate, visually oriented cyberculture. You will find Bitter Journey online at http://www.beliefnet.com/story/21/story_2151_1.html


A couple more excellent Flash presentations:

Y2K: http://www.thegoodnews.org/Y2K/y2k.htm
Creation...A Multimedia Blast: http://www.theartmill.com/creation.htm


And more...

A Flash presentation is both flexible and advanced. There are a number of such presentations you can download onto a disk and show in any setting via a browser - on a monitor or using a projector: http://www.web-evangelism.com/webtracts.html

Designing in Flash


A Flash News Flash

Macromedia ( http://www.macromedia.com/ ) recently announced a major overhaul to Flash, rolling out Flash 5. According to Webmonkey, Flash 5 "touts an improved user interface, more powerful scripting, and better integration with other applications. Freehand and Fireworks monkeys will love how much better this version works with those applications. It's no longer just an animation program, but that's still where Flash really shines."

Interested in learning Flash? Check out these Webmonkey tutorials (for Flash 4):


News Flash For Flash Designers

Macromedia has added a Macromedia Flash Usability section (http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/productinfo/usability/) offering advice, articles, and examples on improving usability with Flash pages. If you're using Flash to design your sites, then this section is a must-see. The folks at Webmonkey even suggest you print out the most useful information and make flash cards.


Swish

Perhaps "Swish" will do what you need .... have a look at their website at: www.swishzone.com I am sure it does not have all the features of the "original" Flash, but I have used it some and found it very easy to learn and to use. One more note about Swish- you can download it and try it for free for thirty days.

www.Coffeecup.com also allows you to download their Firestarter flash for a try out. I believe the program costs around $40.00 USD.

Yep, the $30 Swish is the way to go - it lets you create and place text and graphic objects easily on the "stage", it has many built in effects for those objects and it has several built in "actions" (scripts) associated with those objects. This means it is easy to create graphics that change as you drag the mouse across them and it is easy to link to other web pages or actions on the existing page with a mouse click etc.

Don't be fooled by the "Scene" paradigm that Swish uses - in your application of making web pages just think of each scene as a separate web page - usually you will only be creating one page so you will only have one scene in each .swf file. If you want a web site that is totally Flash you could create multiple scenes with links to each other in one file but be careful of overall file size - after about 50-60k you'll want to start breaking your site into multiple .swf files. Personally, I like Swish much better. It offers more effects, an easy to use interface and a very helpful (to me, anyway) example movie with tutorials. The price is a plus. A flash generator for $30 USD is a good deal, IMHO.


JGenerator

I've been admiring sites using Macromedia Flash for some time, and came across JGenerator today - it's a free clone that creates compatible Flash content. See http://www.flashgap.com/features.html Based on Java, so requires an OS capable of running that.
