I'm looking for an alternative to OpenOffice.org for slide shows, and thinking about web-like alternatives that I can run through with firefox. The major problem now is OOo Impress's poor support for embedded movies and animation - you have to add many extra java packages, and it is slow. Portability is also an issue.
My slide shows are graphics heavy and text light - I am not interested in fancy moving arrows and text and frame-to-frame dissolves. I build a lot of my slides with C programs and libgd. I can use the open source "swftools" to turn PNG frames into Flash movies. Content creation is not much of an issue, but displaying it the way I want it is a big issue. I want to use a USB wireless presenter style remote, which generates the keyclicks and mouseclicks that OOo Impress and Powerpoint and others can be driven with. I don't want to be tied down to a mouse (even a wireless one) if I can avoid it. Suggestions?
