If it does, I don't know of a component out there to control converted powerpoint slides. The problem is that currently these coverters target a different flash virtual machine to that used for AS3/Flex and as such there is only a small market for this kind of bespoke application. In practice the slide converters come with a slide player solution of their own and their target is end users rather than custom component developers. I gave up trying to control my slides from AS3 and coded the solution using AS2. Sorry, but I can't donate the code. You can get hold of the flex help info online : http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/ (google is your friend) It's not the most trivial thing to write a custom slide player if your having to find everything out from scratch. Couldn't you just go with a slide player that's shipped with many converters? Anyway, good luck.
