look at the several posts that have been posted about this lately.

what you'll need to do is create a video...either through screen capture software or ppt to flv conversion software.

hi.
thank you medyman.
i've tried this solution, the best program for capturing powerpoint is camtasia.
but the problem is quality. i need a solution with vector graphic Output not bitmap.
some font size of texts in my powerpoint files are less than 20pt so when my flash project resize in different monitors those little texts will not appear truly and will be unreadable.

You do know that Flash has a built in Slide Presentation format, don't you?

thank blizzard and wpeterson.
yes flash has built in slide presentation and simulating powerpoint slides in flash get us the best quality but in my project i should convert about 60 powerpoint file into flash so in these cases appearing errors is unavoidable.
i tried the three software that wpeterson suggest. ppt2flash and powerconverter didn't give a good quality and they export all slides in one swf file. but articulate presenter export each powerpoint slide in separate swf file and it applied the rehearsed animation and also the quality was good. so i chose this software.
after i converted the slides i loaded them into flash but another problem was that the loaded swf file was bigger than movie clip. then i used _xscale and _yscale to make them smaller the code was like this:
loadmovie("/slides/"+slideNum+".swf",mc);
mc._xscale=75;
mc._yscale=75;
thanks a lot about all your helps.

Try to convert your PowerPoint presentation to flash with iSpring Pro (http://www.ispringsolutions.com). I used this product before and it did a great job but now they added this new feature: converting animations.

Converting PowerPoint to Flash would absolutely be a good choice to distribute your bulky PowerPoint Presentation.You can do the whole PowerPoint-to-Flash conversion manually or with related softwares.First, you'll need to prepare the PowerPoint document. Make sure you are not using any complicated gradients or animations. These will be interpreted poorly when they are brought into Flash. Also, make sure there are no objects that fall outside the confines of the slide area. This will ensure that all the slides align correctly when they are imported to Flash. Now, save a copy of your presentation without any background images. You may want to also choose a contrasting background color to easily see the content of each slide. You all import the background images into Flash at a later time.
Second, choose File > Save As... from your PowerPoint document and save the presentation as a Windows Metafile (*.wmf). This will save your entire presentation as a sequence of files. WMF files keep all text.Next, create a new Flash Document and resize the Stage to 720 x 540. Change the background color to black. Choose File > Import > Import to Stage... and import the first WMF file. When asked to import all of the images in the sequence, choose Yes. This will place each slide from your presentation onto a sequence of frames.
