LaTeX beamer free-flowing two column?

So in standard LaTeX, there is \twocolumn, where I can just type text, and it'll go down the left side of the page, then continue at the top of the right side of the page.

Now, I know that in开发者_如何学JAVAside of a Beamer frame, I can manually create two columns, of various width, with text in them -- however, is there a way to have the text freely flow from one column to the next? [I.e. I want to say "this text goes in these two columns; and have beamer figure out which goes into which column].

Thanks!

You could try with the multicol package. However, with all the magic that Beamer does, it's hard to tell whether this will work.
