Bruce, there are a mass of powerpoint to flash converters out there - google is your friend.
The one I've worked with produced fairly large files and the output is an AS1/AS2 swf. If I were writing a slide player, I'd probably use Flex, though for a slide player it could probably just as well be all in actionscript so Flash or Flex is neither here nor there.
