Hi

These are very useful features. I'm about to use them right now.

One information is missing however in the generated HTML tag: the Flash player version required to run presentations generated by Slideaware.com ?
This would allow to customize the integration in a page by combining a Flash Player detection script like http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ (also useful for embedding actually)

Regards
