how to split flash in two pages?

[ronaldo]

the contents is in spread and has to be separated in two pages to be put in ebook. but the time line/motion should be in sync so even separated the motion still continues on the facing page. how to do it?

can you have flash in an ebook?
I thought an ebook was simply digital text that is read on a digital reader.

that's how my boss calls it. i dont know how those flipping page online is called. we used to just plug in pdfs (wc is normally in two pages), but now he seem not satisfied with static elements upon seeing other competition.

(more questions to come)

Ok, I kind of understand - you have a magazine type presentation that you want to be able to view online using flash.
If you have Indesign CS4, it is all built in for you.
Inside the drop down menu at the of the pages pallette is an option called page transition. Choose the flash only option and export as an swf.

Just make sure you have a cover and back page within the document to keep your spreads together.

problem: im still using CS3. i dont think the boss wont accept the justification. for now im just doing the animation and some techi guy is doing the uploading. no problem on one page, only on spread when it is split into two, the animation is ruined.

2. the boss wants to see more actions (ie zoom in, zoom out, rotate, fade in fadeout, and combinations), doing so makes the file bigger (more than 8mb). it should be as little as 2mb for loading time. is importing psd file the problem (even im just targetting few layers from it)?

Umm.... Just buy one of the hundreds of programs out there that already does all of this. The majority of them call an XML file. Easy to maintain and use...

I don't get why you are doing all this work when it is already done for you. Just do a google search.
