Yes I have.
What do you wanna know about them?

Basically, I wouldn't do it that way unless the presentation needs to be super duper impressive, coz, it takes time to make a real good one, and if you're making a simple basic one, you can get it done much faster with powerpoint or something.

Yeah, go for simpler ones unless you really need to creatively impress the audience. For example, if the audience are just looking for info, a nice and simple presentation would be good, whereas if the audience are looking for creative solutions, or designs and the like, then you really need to spend some time buuilding an impressive presentation with those softwares.

Flash is a good choice for these kinda tasks, as it's good enough to create highly impressive stuff while keeping the file size relatively small compared ot other solutions.

If you're not familiar with these terrains, better get a freelancer to do it for you. Go to www.elance.com or was it www.elance.net???

Can't remember, anyway, you should be able to find good help from there
should you need to.

time is money, don't waste your time scrambling through the presentation if you can get it professionally done!

if it's really important to impress, get professional help!

Well , it depends on what do you need a presentation for?
If it's just to provide basic information , then I suggest Microsoft's Powerpoint - it's easy to use , even if you are a beginner.

For a bit complexed presentation you have to be trained to do it.
In that case I recommend you hire someone , a professional , to do it for you.
