FlashPaper as a means of cross-platform document presentation terminated in favor of Acrobat. With it went the ability to embed documents into Flash/Flex, but the number of folks looking for this apparently hasn't been enough to cause any changes of plans here.
I doubt FlashPaper will ever be converted to AS3. I don't think there are stated plans to do better integration of PDF into Flash, but AIR already supports it From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Sergey Kovalyov Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 2:11 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com; flexcompone...@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Does anybody know why FlashPaper is not supported anymore and what to expect instead? Hi All! Since FlashPaper is not supported anymore, integrating FlashPaper documents into Flex application would still remain into the headache. Yes, solution exists (http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/2006/11/how-to-load-flashpaper-documents-in-flex-2.cfm), but unfortunately it is not as transparent as it might be with AVM2 content, since it uses LocalConnection for AVM1 and AVM2 crossscripting. Maybe, Adobe plans to support PDF embedding into the Flash content? I do not know... Sergey.
