Inserting a flash movie into a powerpoint presentation can be done by using an activex control on the control tool bar in Powerpoint. But movie playback is unpredictable using this control. There is a free plug-in available here:

The swiff plugin facilitates predicatble playback of movies embedding in Powerpoint. One drawback is the playing computer must have the Swiff player installed.

I always thought a movieclip added to the stage at develop time could not be deleted with removeMovieClip. The truth is this:

1) movieclips with a negative depth cannot be removed with removeMovieClip 2) movieclips added at develop time are given a negative depth
3) changing the depth to a positive value at runtime will allow removeMovieClip to work
