hello,

i'm a student, graphic/web design, i'm in my last year and now we have to make a pdf portfolio
i want to make a navigation in flash,
with a few buttons that sends me to different pdf pages

the only help i find is on this forum (most of my teachers are inadequate)
i've tried a few topics but i can't seem to get it right,
i don't know how to work the ExternalInterfaceCall
and how to make it work with acrobat reader

could someone please help me with some basic actionscript and java so i have a place to start?

I am working on a document with the same needs. The "http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2 … sh_buttons" tutorial is ok, but it does not quite answer the question.

How do I get Acrobat to go to another page in the PDF from my Flash (SWF) nav/menu? (the menu pops out on rollover)
Can you give me a sample? or some sample code. I am pretty lost when it comes to coding stuff.
Do i have to write code in both AS3 and in JavaScript?

Basically, want button 1 to go to page 5 of the PDF when clicked. Button 2 to go to page 7, and so on.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you can call Javascript functions directly from
Flash/Flex ActionScript with ExternalInterface.call :
use javasript method this.pageNum = xx;

According to most IT HelpDesk people, the most common reason for user error (regardless of Operating System) is ID 10T.

These forums are now Read Only. If you have an Acrobat question, ask questions and get help from one of our experts.
