Replacing a Photo within a PDF layout

I want to email a pdf to clients that will open the same no matter what version of Acrobat they have. Basically I have a picture frame, inside the frame I want photos to cycle within that frame. The layout also has text that should stay the same and not change. I've played around with a pdf presentation from Photoshop but if the settings are different when people open it, it doesn't display correctly. Is this possible to do or is there a better way?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 6.0.0, Windows

This is tricky, but there are a few ways to do this. For example, you could use a very large form field button to display the photo. All the photos could be stored on hidden buttons. Then using a timer and a JavaScript, the photos can be coppied from thier hidden storage button into the display button.

If you want to get into more complex interactions you could load the photos from an external source such as the hard drive or a remote FDF file.
