There are commercial pieces of software that will do it (we use one here at work as part of our product), and I believe they all use VBScript to interact with Powerpoint. However, from what I've heard the next version of Powerpoint will not have the VBScript support anymore (I guess MS specifically says it shouldn't be used for things like this, so they're killing it), so I'm not sure how good of a long-term solution that would be.
What parts of the PPT stuff are you trying to convert? If you want animations and sound and such then it would be pretty difficult, but if all you want are the images then you could just use PPT to save the slides out as images (just pick the JPG format in the "Save As..." dialog) and then have flash use those images for the slides. You'd have to manually write the Flash code to handle the switching of slides and such, but it's an easy way to get all the images you need. -Andy On 10/16/06, Alain Rousseau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
You should try OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org, It's similar to Windows Office, but open source and you have an application that reads PowerPoints. With it you can convert your PowerPoints to swf. Otherwise you could try and do it with a C# app. But for that I can't really help you there. The only other way to do it with PowerPoint is either with Adobe Breeze or other similar softwares.

In that topic the link http://bukoo.sourceforge.net/ was mentioned but it is not working. Does anyone has anything on how to parse a ppt/pps file or creating a swf file?
