Creating button to open video or attachment in pdf

Hi all!

I have exhausted many avenues on having videos play either inside the pdf or open elsewhere. I have to use the pdf in an app called GoodReader, which does not support embedded videos in the pdf. The only way I have been able to view videos in the GoodReader app after creating my pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro is to have the videos as attachments with the limited icon selection (the paperclip). 

I did try writing a javascript code for the button under Actions and it did not open the attatchment as desired: 

this.exportDataObject({cName: "1. How to Open Template manager.mp4", nLaunch: 2});

    Talk to the "GoodReader" support. Media support is up to the vendor of the PDF viewer. If the PDF is not being viewed in Acrobat/Reader, then it's not related to Acrobat/Reader and therefore not an issue on this forum.
