Summary description: This package allows direct embedding of flash movies into PDF files.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package allows direct embedding of flash movies into PDF files. It is
designed for use with pdflatex.
Basically it uses the fact that the Adobe Reader 9 contains
an embedded Adobe Flash player which can be invoked with the
"rich media annotation" feature which is described in
"Adobe Supplement to the ISO 32000 BaseVersion: 1.7
ExtensionLevel: 3".
advantages:
- You can directly embed videos into the pdf (external window is optimal and not necessary).
- You can play back videos without worrying about platform dependencies.
disadvantages:
- You can only play back embedded videos with Adobe Reader 9 and upwards.\
