Hi,
is there a possibility to code a flash-menu instead of taking buttons? This menu should cooperate/interact with the 3d-annotations like we did it with e.g. buttons.
If it is possible: how is the communication build up with the 3d-annotation?
 
I hope you understand my question and can help me :)
 
Greetings

You need a swf with flash buttons placed beside the 3D annotation and a JavaScript-ActionScript-communication-bridge. Thus, you get access from Flash (ActionScript) to JavaScript (Adobe PDF) functions and other way around. You need callback functions on ActionScript side as well as on JavaScript side. Your keyword is the "ExternalInterface" interface, have a look here:
