I am sorry I didn't make myself clear. What I am looking for *is* support for the recent RichMedia extensions as well. I believe that, just as in your case, we want to embed not a "black box" movie or animation, but a dynamic application that can be configured to show customized data that is also stored in the PDF.
Our investigation so far indicates that the previous support for embedding SWFs that you mention is not enough to accomplish this - the calls the Flash application has to make to its container are failing completely when we use the previous method. We want to use the Flex ExternalInterface.call() API to call JavaScript functions in the PDF space, and we have not been able to do that. We believe those calls are only enabled if the RichMediaAnnotation extension is used when creating the PDF - thus my question. For our prototype, our goal is to reproduce this example: http://www.jamesward.com/blog/2008/11/05/portable-rias-flex-apps-in-pdfs/ It embeds an application created with Flex that can read data from the PDF container stored in Forms. The data can even be updated later using remote calls from inside the application. We have not been able to reproduce this using iText (the example uses Acrobat Professional for the embedding) so far due to the problem with making JavaScript calls I mentioned before. BTW, wouldn't this make a terrific example for the ihttp://1t3xt.info/examples/ site?
