CPS Labs Ltd announces today the release of FlashSpring 1.2, an easy and fast PowerPoint add-on for authoring high quality Flash content. With FlashSpring in place, anyone can create Flash content in the PowerPoint environment by converting PowerPoint presentations into Flash clips.
All FlashSpring functions are easy to locate and access from the Power Point toolbar. With no special skills, or Flash knowledge, you can produce portable and compact Flash presentations that can be viewed by millions of people, who use different platforms and browsers.
"FlashSpring makes learning content creation and distribution much easier for teachers and students," says Yury Uskov, technical director at CPS Labs. "Compact Flash presentations created with FlashSpring are extremely effective for email and web marketing. FlashSpring allows creating Flash e-cards, photo albums and other content for entertainment."
