Interactive Graphic not saving "selections" in PDF

[SarahCreative]

Hi All,

I have created an interactive graphic in Animate CC (aka Flash) - I have added it to a PDF in Acrobat but the user's selections are not being saved when the PDF is saved.  Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?  Here is the link to the test site so you can see the Flash file.   Home

Thanks so much!

Flash content inside a PDF file cannot save persistent data in the usual way (using Local Shared Objects) since there is no browser engine to manage them. Instead your Flash application must use the multimedia_saveSettingsString and multimedia_loadSettingsString API functions to pass a string-formatted collection of variable values to the Acrobat runtime interface, which will then save them as hidden data embedded in the PDF file.

This is great, thank you!  I was thinking I should have been in the Flash forum...
