Hi

_CURRENT SITUATION:_

I am creating an e-learning simulation in Flash. However, the  
simulation isn’t the problem. The simulation needs to be an .exe to  
take advantage of the full screen size.

My boss wants the users of the course to begin in a PDF document.  
When they get to the end of the unit, she wanted the users to click a  
link to start that exercise (the Flash projector file).

_PROBLEM:_

This is a pain because Acrobat will not launch .exe files due to  
security reasons. Although I have created a self-closing, launcher  
html page that can be launched from Acrobat, the user is bombarded by  
warnings from Windows regarding launching the .exe because it is being  
launched from a html file.

Any ideas on a better way to do this?

Does anyone know how to embed a PDF within Flash? My idea is to  
create a Flash .exe with the PDF file built in.

I know that FlashAnts projector can do it.

I just didn’t know if there was another way to do it in Flash 8.

Thanks,
