I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and I have a PDF with embedded Flash animation. No poster is used for the movie and the Flash file does not contain timeline so it plays infinitely. I need the flash to pause at Page Exit freezing the animation. I could set it to stop but since no poster is used, the area where the animation is placed turns in to blank space. Someone told this could be done using javascript but I'm not a programmer. Could someone help me with this if this is really doable using javascript.

Thanks,

Sonnix

In order for a SWF file to react to Acrobat JavaScript 'multimedia' commands such as pause, play and stop, it needs to have AS3 code added so it understands the commands being sent and registers handers with the external interface. Without those extra sections of ActionScript, all you can do from Acrobat is enable and disable it.
