This should within a day be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .................................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: flashmovie Version number: 0.0 Author's name: Timo Hartmann Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/flashmovie 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.\

flashmovie – Directly embed flash movies into PDF files

The package allows direct embedding of flash movies into PDF files. It is designed for use with pdf.

The package takes advantage of the embedded Adobe Flash player in Adobe Reader 9; the reader is invoked with the ‘rich media annotation’ feature, described in “Adobe Supplement to the ISO 32000 BaseVersion: 1.7 ExtensionLevel: 3”.

This method of embedding movies is attractive since it removes all platform dependencies; however, the user is required to use Acrobat 9.
