The Boxoball.pdf is one of my favorit example at the Acrobat 3D corner. I tried to investigate it with Acrobat 3D 8 Beta. Although it seems that the document allows all kind of editing and I can see part of the JavaScript code I can't get through to the actual script that does the interersting stuff. The debugger mentions a File called 'FloatingBalls.js' that is read but I have no clue where this file is. Is that a hidden attachment or something. Could somebody give me a short hint about the underlying structure?
 
Thanks a lot...

You're right, this is a great example and it doesn't seem as if there is a way to export the 3D script. There may be in Acrobat 3D, but I don't have a current copy running. So I extracted the script directly from the 3D Annot with [url=http://www.windjack.com/products/pdfcanopener.php]PDF CanOpener[/url]

Here's a link to it.
