Does anyone know if it is possible to extract and save an embedded .swf from
a powerpoint slide?

I have searched and found some 'C' code but it might as well be written in
Navajo!

Thanks in advance
 
You can Save as Web Page the presentation. Y'll find in the folder created,
the SWF file
 
Thanks for the reply, but that is one I have already tried!

No .swf file saved, and the html 'page' is just a black blank!

Thanks for your reply (and for looking!) (you can feel it coming can't
you!), but I found that code, it is 'C' or 'C++'. Being a simple lad, I
wouldn't really know what to do with it!

Regards

Many thanks, the compiled file worked (once I had discovered the file suffix
for the scrap file!)

Many thanks for finding and forwarding the link!

Best regards

John
 
Hi John

I tried the compliled version as soon as I found that Luc had posted it.

I know I will be teaching granny to suck eggs, but what I did was:

Open my PPT file

select the flash object and drag into a windows explorer folder
(c:\extractflash\sourceppt) to create a 'scrap' file (odd this doesn't show a
suffix though it does seem to have one!)

From a command prompt, used the following command string and it worked!

c:\extractflash\code\extractaflash.exe C:\ExtractFlash\SourcePPT\scrap.shs
C:\ExtractFlash\ExtractedFlash\outfile.swf

Good luck with it
 
JohnBury,
No sweat, I remembered a long thread in the newsgroup relating to the same
problem, just looked it up and bingo.
 
John,
Sorry for coming back to you so late, actually did not try the code yet. Saw
a posting from Echo Swinford referring to the code, so I figured if Echo
faith in it so can I. Meanwhile JohnBury posted that it worked for him.
