The Web-Empowered Church Flash Presentation Extension produces a synchronized slideshow/media presentation through a Flash movie.  Media can be in the form of MP3 audio only or Flash FLV files containing both audio and video.  Both low bandwidth and high bandwidth FLV files can be provided, with automatic bandwidth detection serving the correct file to the user.  Currently, video must at a resolution of 320 x 240 or less.

Silde images and timings are entered through the TYPO3 backend to enhance the MP3 or FLV media.  As the media plays, the displayed slides are updated to reflect the information being presented through the MP3 or FLV.  

The Flash movies contain all of the functionality for controlling slides, audio, and video; TYPO3 is only used to provide a means for entering data and passing that data to Flash.  This data passing is accomplished by embedding FlashVars in the HTML of a pages.

The Web-Empowered Church (WEC) is a ministry of the Foundation for Evangelism (www.evangelize.org). The mission of WEC is to innovatively apply WEB technology to EMPOWER the worldwide CHURCH for ministry.

WEC will help churches around the world expand evangelism, discipleship, and care through the innovative application of Internet technology. WEC web-based tools and training will help make church ministries more efficient and effective, and will extend ministry impact to a world in need of Jesus (See www.WebEmpoweredChurch.org/Jesus). We want to fuel a worldwide movement using the Internet to point the world to Jesus Christ, to grow disciples, and to care for those in need.  Our desire is to use the web to empower the Church to become a truly 24 hours per day 7 days per week ministry that is not constrained by walls or distance or time.
