Hi all, this is an age old discussion that I'm sure has been covered elsewhere before. But, can anyone recommend an easy and inexpensive way to convert a Powerpoint slide deck to individual SWF files? I'm trying to create one SWF file per slide for use in a customized webcast application. I want to go the SWF route versus exporting a series of JPGs or PNGs so I can support any size browser window. Impress does a great job of converting all of powerpoint's text into true vector shapes within the SWF
I've installed Open Office and I found a macro online for Impress that seems to do the trick. But when Impress creates the SWF files, by default it has a huge hit area over all of the slides. Is there a way to get around this?
UPDATE: Several folks have suggested taking a look at FlashSpring. The free, lite, version seems to do the trick but only exports one, bundled SWF. They have a $149 pro version, but I'm trying to keep this project on a certain budget, i.e. free. :-)

Alternative way can be import the slides into Captivate.

I will look at Flash Paper. Can it be purchased on its own, separate from Contribute?
