I have created and swf using "Adobe Capivate"
The swf file has a skin, that includes a play/stop/close etc buttons.

When I insert an swf file within my pdf, none of the the buttons within the skin work
How can I get them to work?

I am on a Mac OSX 10.5.5
Acrobat Pro 9.1
Captivate 4.1
(so the latest in all)

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Ok - I exported my swf file to a later version of Flash (flash 10)
Now the buttons work, but the exit/close button on the skin still doesn't work

This is the one that's most important!
anyone know how to fix?

Thanks, interesting to read.
I've got the skin and animation as one swf file,
but the close/exit button still does not work!

Not sure what you're expecting the close button to do - inside a PDF page, the concept of "closing" a Flash asset is meaningless. You can tell Acrobat to disable the SWF asset (reverting to the poster image) but that's a function with context within the PDF, not within the SWF, so won't be triggered by any pre-built SWF "close" button that's expecting to talk to a browser window.

my client wants to have the swf in a "floating window"
But the close window button on the top right is not visible enough. It's very hidden, so I need the close button on the swf skin to close the pdf floating window.

If the web revolutionsied business and entertainment, the PDF is revolutionising "the document"
