This has been very annoying. Something as simple as putting a video into a framemaker document shouldn't cause me such a hassle! I loaded a video into framemaker 12 (it was a Windows Media file). I converted it to FLV. I set the graphic name. I set the poster image. Below the video I typed the word Play and set the link to graphic as play. Then I clicked return and typed the word Pause and set the link to graphic as pause. Then I clicked return and typed the word Rewind and set the link to graphic as rewind. Then I clicked return.
When I saved as PDF, the PDF document did not play the video, nor did the play, pause, rewind functions work!! I got a message that my flash player is not up to date (but it is!!). I reinstalled flash player again anyway and it still didn't work!!!
Then I wasted 2 hours on the phone with two different Adobe guys who couldn't figure it out either!!!
When published as a WMA, it plays, but the user doesn't have any control over pausing or rewinding.
This is ridiculous! Why doesn't Adobe design Framemaker with similar features as some of there other products such as Captivate where you can choose a video player skin with start, pause, and rewind buttons already embedded in the skin layout??? That would be a hell of a lot easier!
Also, why isn't "set link to graphic" and "set graphic name" enabled for different file types such as WMV?
Help would be appreciated
