I had the same problem on 2007 Powerpoint.

I had to install Flash by using Internet Explorer in order to get the full Flash.OCX file.  When installing through Chrome or Firefox, Powerpoint would not register it.

Luck!

It should be Insert>Object>Flash Document and then you browse to the swf. I just did it in PPT2007

"The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error.  You may need to reinstall the server application."
