embed player in SWF

I am having trouble getting thru step 2.

1. Choose the Player you’d like to host in your PDF and select ActionScript from the ‘Get Code’ options in the Publishing Module.

2. Using Flash, Flex, or a comparable program - embed your player within a SWF.

How do you expect us to help you when:

  • We don't have a clue what you are trying to achieve
  • You have instructions which are not complete
  • you don't tell us what is all about
  • you don't post any code snippets or screenshots

That my friend is not very productive to get help in a forum.

Back to the original purpose of this post:

I assume based on the last post that you want to embed an SWF in a PDF, is that correct? If not then please elaborate a bit on this.

Again, i am in NO WAY trying to be nasty - i am not as knowledgeable in this as you all are and ask you to be patient and civil.

I am not a coder - i am a designer so i am unfamiliar with the ethics of these posts.

I am also 25, dirty blonde and a roller derby girl - will that make you guys nicer?  ;-)

This is the 'simple' part i can't get thru:

"embed your player (actionscript) within a SWF"

I don't think you need any more info to help with that one.

(sometimes it seems people want to make it as difficult as possible to help them.)

Excuse me for misrepresenting myself, i'm not trying to be difficult.

Absolutely honestly, this is THE part i can't get thru. I am certain it is very simple, but i am unfamiliar with coding so i'm totally STUMPED!

embed actionscript into an SWF is the ONLY instructions that i received and i can't do. The problem is that the originator of the instructions is not there to help me learn Flash but to embed his player into a PDF. (that is the part we CAN do - it's creating the SWF we need that we CAN'T do)

SO that is it in a nutshell - can't get past those last 5 words of step 2. Which i assumed was simple for an expert, but maybe it's the instructions that are lacking?
