Trouble embedding Rich Media video into pdf without Flash

I keep getting this message while trying to embed a video in my PDF:

To view the flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat.

 

Any suggestions?

    Hi @Daddy Work,

    Flash Player is EOL. Here is the announcement:

    https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html

     

    I DO NOT recommend embedding multi-media content into PDF files at this time. Even if you succeed, nobody will be able to view the content.

     

    See this discussion from the Acrobat forum.
