Embedded document viewer - Flash

Question

Hi, We have a requirement to show documents (if we have URL for a document) within Flash. We have a need use embedded document viewer for MS Office and PDF documents. Are there any Flash controls available to acheive this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Although I know that Adobe manage to include audio and video on the PDF specification it's mostly used for printed documents, and I don't think that a Flash movie qualifies as such.

On the other hand it's possible to embed a flash player on an MS Office document, with "Insert Object" method, but it's highly unused for such and I doubt that your target users will be happy to have an document, or worse an email, with Flash movies popping up.
