Any way to embed a main swf that requires loading of external swfs?

I want to embed a swf document in the portfolio but in order for it to fully work it has to load in 10 external swfs, a video and .as scrollbar. Is this possible in Acrobat 9. Also, for some reason, Acrobat fills in certain images with white or black? Thank you for your help

Yes, its possible- *provided* the main SWF is loading the compoents either from a fully-qualified URL, or without a path name at all. In the case of a URL, Acrobat/Reader will just go get them (after asking the user permission). If the main SWF just looks for "child.swf" or "something.flv", all you need to do is add those files to the "resources" tab of the Flash annotation, either when you first create it, or by right-clicking it and choosing "properties". You don't need to change any names or link them to any materials etc., just attach them to the list and press OK.
