ASAP Pro is a Web conferencing and online collaboration application that integrates a full PowerPoint to Flash converter powered by PresentationPro PowerConverter.
In PowerPoint, you can export your presentation to a picture sequence and import the picture files into Flash's timeline. Then, export the timeline as Shockwave Flash File (SWF). Exporting the individual slides into WMF format is the best approach as it allows the vector images and graphics to be kept in their original format when imported into Flash.
