I'm prepared to hack them about a bit if necessary.  But as you can
probably tell, I am not a Flash expert.

I think so, but I don't have a slow enough connection to see them ;-) 
Would it be possible to remove them with swfextract or some other tool?

OK, here's a simple example:

  http://www.duncangibb.com/swf/part_one.swf - slides 1, 2, 3
  http://www.duncangibb.com/swf/part_two.swf - slides 4, 5, 6

  http://www.duncangibb.com/swf/combined.swf - output from swfcombine


What I want, obviously, is slides 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 all in one file.


Really what I want to do is join three files - two halfs of a PowerPoint
presentation and a Flash movie in the middle.  So a method that works by
substituting a whole SWF for one slide in one of the PowerPoints would
be just as good.


Thanks in advance, and sorry for talking about PowerPoint - not really
my field normally.
