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

UK John,
Here's a link to a code solution:

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

John

Hi Luc

Did you get the compiled code to work. I know how to use it (I think!) but I
keep getting an error (unable to initialise)

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

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.

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

JohnBury,
No sweat, I remembered a long thread in the newsgroup relating to the same
problem, just looked it up and bingo.

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!
