Hi,

If you need to embed the Flash or Powerpoint in your application
then I dont know if there is a way to do it but If you need
the user to click a button and the powerpoint to open then
just use this command.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("your powerpoint path here");

Hope that helps

I have done :

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Test");
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("D:/eb/temp/exemple/tesTHIERY.pps");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Test");
}
}

And I get :

Test
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: D:\eb\temp\exemple\tesTHIERY.pps
error=193
at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method)

Any help would be welcome.
