I saw questions about whether anyone else is doing things with SWF in PDF, but got confused at the objection to using Adobe Reader. I'm not sure what the goal is, what the question is.
(SWF-in-PDF background: Adobe announced it a few years ago, but on the Macromedia side I was always confused about what they were doing, and how they were doing it. I've tried to get this clarified since the merger, without much luck. The best story I received verbally was that Reader used the ability to play QuickTime to render SWF as well, which wouldn't be very functional because the version of Macromedia Flash Player inside the Apple QuickTime engine was not updated for quite some time. On the other hand, post-merger, there's obvious incentive to connect things together better, although I haven't seen any announcements for SWF-in-PDF during the Acrobat 8 timeframe. One other wrinkle is that PDFs will be able to invoked alongside SWF in the Adobe Apollo project, currently in public alpha -- it may be possible to achieve the goal by alternate means. Anyway, that's the general background info I have, but having a clearer idea of the question could help get better replies.) jd/adobe _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
