I've also done that search - AFAIK there are no AS3 based converters. I've just asked almost the same question on flashcoders and basically the solution is to: 1) Create an AS2 swf to load and control an imported AS2 swf (your ppt slide). 2) The AS3 code will create a local connection, to which the AS2 listens. The AS3 code then messages the AS2 swf via the connection and the wrapper controls the ppt swf accordingly. Check out the flashcoders archives for today. Paul
