So I use flatten in this scanrio to fix my issues. Someone creates a ppt with a large graphic that flows over the boundaries of the viewable are in powerpoint. They then create a mask to show the region they want to display.. they when it get's exported to pdf that graphic exists in it's entirety.. so when you convert pdf to swf that graphic still exists even thought it's not viewable.. so the dimensions of the swf are very inaccurate. What flatten does is clips any items that overflow out of the given boundaries thus leaving you with a nice swf with proper dimensions.
