EXE file in Powerpoint presentation

Hello,

Does anyone know how to execute an *.exe file in Powerpoint presentation. Is
it possible at all?
I would like to insert a flash presentation into one slide (and operate on
it). There is a number of swf. files and one exec. If I start it (flash.exe)
I can run through a couple of flesh slides.

So sumurizing. I would like to present Powerpoint presentation and to have
on one slide flesh presentation inserted, which can be viewed as fg. a movie
clip.

thanks for your help,

regards,

lukasz

Thx Glen,

but unfortunatelly that didn't help. I went through all pages and tutorials,
but I culdn't find a solution to my question. The problem is that I need to
insert a flesh.exe file (it is not a flesh.swf file). In the second case
(*.swf) there is no problem, but how to run an exe file, there is no tip
:(((

lukasz,

You need to create an "action" setting to "run program" in powerpoint.

Any object / text can be assigned an "action" just right click the object and choose "action settings" ... then "on
mouse click" - "run program" then browse to your exe file
