how do i open an x.swf file in Powerpoint?

[JohnM]

I'd like to use a short clip in a ppt, but the clip I want to use is a swf
file, and Powerpoint says it can't open it. But it sems from Q&A posted that
is it possible. Am I missing some way to do this? Is there any way to use
this clip? I'm using Powerpoint 2000.

You can play a .swf file in PPT, but there is no native wizard to assist.

Thanks for the advice. I'm havng difficulty understanding exactly what to do.
Flashgeeks.com offers a "Navigation" program, but I'm unsure if that will
accomplish what I need. I'm reluctant to pay $25 and download it before I
know for sure.
Thanks for any advice.
