import Flash .exe file

[Brian Lynn]

Client has brought me a Flash file that has been saved as
an executable, self contained presentation and the file
is not available as a .swf which would make life easy. Is
there a way to import or use the flash ".exe" as an
object? or is there a way to make ppt call this .exe and
run it automatically when we reach the slide the .exe is
on? I want to run the .exe as the second slide in the
presentation, then advance to slide 3 on a click after
the .exe finishes.

I can run the .exe from within slide builder view but
everytime I do I get a message from Explorer asking me if
I want to run this "File Download". I believe I can
correct this by reducing secutrity settings in Explorer
but if there is a better way to avoid this step
altogether (i.e. a proper file import) I would like to
use it.

Thanks in advance for any help you all can give me!

Hi Brian,

Check the technique described at this link:

Since you're running PPT 2002, you can get around it.

There are many tools for converting Flash .exe files back to .swf - A quick
Google search will come up with pages.
On that I've used many times because it's very quick and simple is Flash
Convert 1.0:
