FlashPaper as a means of cross-platform document presentation terminated in
favor of Acrobat. With it went the ability to embed documents into Flash/Flex,
but the number of folks looking for this apparently hasn't been enough to cause
any changes of plans here.
I doubt FlashPaper will ever be converted to AS3. I don't think there are
stated plans to do better integration of PDF into Flash, but AIR already
supports it

Subject: [flexcoders] Does anybody know why FlashPaper is not supported anymore
and what to expect instead?
Hi All!
Since FlashPaper is not supported anymore, integrating FlashPaper documents
into Flex application would still remain into the headache.
Yes, solution exists
(http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/2006/11/how-to-load-flashpaper-documents-in-flex-2.cfm),
but unfortunately it is not as transparent as it might be with AVM2 content,
since it uses LocalConnection for AVM1 and AVM2 crossscripting.
Maybe, Adobe plans to support PDF embedding into the Flash content? I do not
know...
Sergey.
