    There was so much good stuff at DevLink last year that I had to skip some presentations, and it's great to be able to see some of those!

    How do you guys do this?

    by Charles Cherry

    Can someone tell me how you synchronize the powerpoint slides with the video? Is this a product, or is it done via code? I know the video and slides are in Flash, but how do you keep them in sync? Does the video fire an event at specified times, or what?

    Thanks!
