Prezoom is a plugin for creating presentations in Adobe Flash.
Here is a sample presentation created using Prezoom:
Sample.
The plugin assists in creating:
- structured presentations, organized in a treelike fashion
- transitions between slides – with zoom-ins and zoom-outs, transparency changes and other tweens
- a uniform graphical layout – with default fonts, colors, etc.
The plugin is still in beta phase. Any comments and questions are welcome here.

Credits
The plugin is developed by Szymon Toruńczyk.
The idea of creating zoom-in-zoom-out presentations in Flash, and also the design of the default graphical theme are due to Mikołaj Bojańczyk.
