Embedding mp4 into FM 12 file

I am attempting to import an mp4 video file into a FM document. It imports ok, but when I go to set the graphic name, the option is grayed out. And when I attempt to create a link to the graphic (i.e. a play and pause feature for PDF purposes), it says that the document does not have a multimedia object in it. I can double click on the imported file in FM, and it play in Windows Media Player. Not sure what I'm missing here...

As an update to this, I ended up converting the file to an flv. I am now able to name the video and create play/pause links. However, it does not work in the PDF. The links take me to my internet browser's home page, and the video image is just a graphic, not a playable video. Any thoughts??

Hi,

Pls verify the following:

1. You should save as pdf and not use print to pdf for this functionality to work i.e. for the video to be active in pdf

2. Pls check that all checkboxes under Edit->Preferences->General->Embed in PDF are turned on

3. Creating links to graphics work for flv, swf and 3d files only.

Thanks,
