What is so great about Macromedia Contribute2 versus regular old Macromedia Contribute? Well there is a few things I will name them off and lets take a closer look at each of those individually. First of all you have flash paper which is available for Windows 2000 and Windows XP only sorry you Mac user, the other Windows users on previous versions you also have pay pal ecommerce, capability you have what is called third generation site connection system which is going to give you a little more high performance and you also have a new more powerful security. So let us go back and take a look at each of those. First of all what the heck is Macromedia flash paper. Flash paper is basically what allows you to take any printable document and turn it into a web friendly fast loading flash format that you can embed into any part of a web page. And what you can use flash paper for is you just take any document like word, PowerPoint, you can also use Microsoft project, AutoCAD, even the Adobe PDF and turn it into a flash document that you can embed into your web page. And this is very handy that you can allow users to go ahead and view these files without actually having the original program. We will take a look at how you can flash paper later on in this tutorial. Another feature you can use is the pay pal ecommerce. Now pay pal is a very popular payment system that lets in small business owner, the eBay, seller or buyer setup the ability to have pay pal on your website. Now in Contribute2 if you go up to the insert menu you will see a menu that gives you the command for pay pal or we can actually add merchant tool into your website and again we are going to take a look at this a little closer but this is new for Contribute2. Now Contribute2 also offers want they are calling a third generation site connection system. What this is is the ability to give you more stable, more persistent connection on a wider range of server and network configurations. And this is just helps you to say something that runs behind the scenes and should make you feel little better. The other option that is new is a more robust security system, this is going to give you secure encrypted file transfer between Contribute and the website you are working on. We also have a new client password protection that is you can also include for little extra protection of some of your more sensitive information, and last but not least for MAC users Contribute2 now offers a cross platform solution that will work with the new MAC OS X. And this will automatically connect you to any existing .MAC accounts. So that's a quick look at what is new in Contribute2. ]
