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

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.
