Try this.

Adding a Shockwave Flash Object ActiveX Control to a Slide or Form
To add a Shockwave Flash Object control to a slide, follow these steps:
Go to the slide where you want to insert the control.
If the Control Toolbox is not already visible, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Control Toolbox.
Click the More Controls button in the Control Toolbox. Click Shockwave Flash Object, and then draw the control on your slide.

The Shockwave Flash Object ActiveX control now appears on your slide.
Connecting to the Shockwave Flash Animation File
To have the Shockwave Flash control play back your Flash Animation file, follow these steps:
Right-click the Shockwave Flash control, and then click Properties.
Click the Movie property. In the Value box, type the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or drive path to the *.swf file that you want to play back.
Make sure that the Playing property is set to true.

It seems to work for me, I'm using Flash 5 and Powerpoint 2002.
