Not if you want a swf that can be controlled from AS3. From the FAQ: What version of Flash Player is required to display Flash documents created by FlashPaper?
Flash documents can be displayed by any browser with Flash Player 6 or higher installed. Some features, like text search, are only available in browsers with Flash Player 7 or higher installed. So it has to be AS2 based. Unless you know different, of course. It's not clear to me whether FlashPaper supports animation. Flash conversion of powerpoint presentations that don't have transitions or animation is straightforward.

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
