I have a Flash drag and drop that I created (AS2) and placed on a PowerPoint slide. Is there a way for my Flash exercise to let the iSpring swf know when the exercise has been completed so that the slide can either autoadvance to the next slide or I can display a "Click to continue" message via the PPT slide?

There is no any documented way to let the embedded SWF object to communicate with the presentation player.

However the following way does work (it requires iSpring Presenter or iSpring SDK and will not work with iSpring Free or iSpring Pro):

Code:

function findPlayer(mc:MovieClip):Object
{
   var p:MovieClip = mc;
   do
   {
      mc = p;
      if (
         (mc.getPlayer != undefined) && 
         (typeof(mc.getPlayer) == "function")
         )
      {
         return mc.getPlayer();
      }
      
      var p:MovieClip = mc._parent;
   }while(p != mc);
   return null;
}

// this function is called when user releases mouse on mc1 MovieClip
mc1.onRelease = function()
{
   findPlayer(this._parent).getPlaybackController().gotoNextSlide();
}
