A method for presenting a presentation authored on a first platform utilizing first-platform-specific-renderable objects is provided. The method includes, at a presentation player executable on a second platform different from the first platform: receiving a presentation file, in response to execution of the presentation file by the presentation player, extracting frame data from the presentation file, the frame data including a frame document object model corresponding to each frame of the presentation, parsing the frame document object model of each frame of the presentation to identify the first-platform-specific-renderable objects, translating the first-platform-specific-renderable objects into corresponding second-platform-specific-renderable objects having second-platform-specific binaries, and rendering the second-platform-specific binaries of each second-platform-specific-renderable object utilizing second-platform-specific primitives retrieved from data storage in electronic communication with the second-platform, the second-platform-specific-renderable objects being rendered according to the frame document object model of each frame to display the presentation.
