[challenge entry] Evil yellow bastard




... Also question, does anyone know how to extract a swf file that's embedded in a powerpoint slide?
I've had a scour round and can only find code examples - not much help as I can't write code :(

Any ideas much appreciated

# Take your computer and throw it out the window
That should extract it nicely. Oh, sure, you might lose everything, but that doesn't matter, surely?

# true
so if I throw the computer hard enough maybe the swf will be dislodged from the powerpoint.

Check back in 2 hours, this may well be the only course of action remaining to me

# nah
its embedded so you can only save as a picture.

I think i'll have to upload a ppt somewhere for people to see what I mean

# unfortunately not as the swf is embedded
short of somehow decompiling the ppt slide I can't see how it can be done..... but the fact that it's embedded means it must somehow be possible.

I can my whole day being taken up with this, it's even work related*

# a quick google search only brought up the programming solution you mentioned...
