Sorry, but you can't. As has been said here many times, the iPad cannot play any Flash content. You'll need to run the presentation from your MacBook if you absolutely must include something created in Flash and cannot convert it to QuickTime.

We should probably clarify for people that don't know yet that SWF file extensions are what flash files are saved as.

Good point, Jason. It's so common in my daily work that I tend to forget that not everyone will know what that extension applies to. Thanks.

And SWF stands for ShockWave Flash file.

You have to convert to a form the ipad recognizes. There
are some conversion programs out there such as Handbrake.
If you have a version of swf that is not recognized by Handbrake,
I believe the flash player can also export in quicktime format
which can then be converted by handbrake. There are a couple
of handbrake profiles to generate ipad compatible formats (search
for 'iPad-4x3.plist' which is a plist preference file for Handbrake.

When you convert a swf to a QuickTime video you can loose some of the swf animation.
