    I am want to create a flash presentation using php, but I don't where to begin. I like the way slide.com works where you can select transitions.

    Anyone can point me or give me a sample how to do flash presentation using php

    Flash runs in a browser, whereas php is a server side script. You could use php to generate xml files that a flash presentation reads?

    you won't be able to do a flash animation just in php. you need a flash editor in order to create your animation, then you can include it in your php.
    I use Flash 8, you can get a free trial version here
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flashpro/
    but it's expensive to buy

    There are also free Flash editors but I have never used them, here is one
    http://www.topshareware.com/Free-Flash-Editor-download-42820.htm

    the easiest I would say is to find an example :you can download free web templates that contain a flash animation then open the animation in your Flash editor and see what it looks like and play with it by modifying it.

    http://www.layouts4free.com/
    here is one site that has free layouts, don't know if it's good but you could try it. there are a lot of other sites that offer free templates out there.

    good luck!

    You need a 3rd party library for doing this. Take a look at Ming.
