Hi Syclopz,

If you use Tools - MultiMedia and select the Video tool you can drag a box on the page and move it to wherever you want the video to play. Or are you asking for something different?

Hope this helps,

Dimitri,
Thank you for responding so quickly:)
I have a placed a video button on the page, when pressed in opens the video in the upper right hand corner (floating). I would like it to float in the center of the page.

Hi Syclopz,

I didn't realize in your other post that you were using a floating movie as opposed to a drawn one using the movie tool. Unfortunately, in Acrobat 9.0 the ability to open the player to the position you want does not work. There are script commands for positioning the player but they don;t work. Let's hope this gets fixed in Acrobat 9.1 ( I don't have any idea when that will be released).

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
