It's early stages right now, but it seems to do everything I need, with API calls for moving from one page to another, zooming, scrolling, etc. The Pro edition is $80 and there's a server edition that has an automation API, letting you integrate conversion into your application. Very cool. Anyone facing this powerpoint to Flex problem should take a look to see if this meets your needs. I've had a quick look at print2flash and it looks good, but I think the problem for powerpoint conversion is the use of animation and transitions - something I don't think that print2flash can handle. I'm sure that conversion of static slides (via the print interface) would work fine. If you know different, let me know fast! Paul Robin snip

The slide conversion is AS2 based and only via the printer mechanism, so static conversion only. Paul Paul Robin

AFAIK, Connect is Flex under the skin, so surely it is possible. I know there was a guy in Italy rewriting Connect to be open source, Giorgio Natali, and I've seen him post occasionally on here. Maybe he will pop in with an opinion. If not, maybe a member of the engineering team could check with the Connect engineers and see if they can give you a hint. HTH; Amy I was just looking for a way to avoid using an AS2 bridge, but it looks like I'll be using the bridge.. Thanks Amy. Paul

I'm not sure exactly which forum you're referring to. Can you provide a link or details of where I should look?
