+This package allows direct embedding of flash movies into PDF files. It is
+designed for use with pdflatex.
+
+Basically it uses the fact that the Adobe Reader 9 contains
+an embedded Adobe Flash player which can be invoked with the
+"rich media annotation" feature which is described in
+"Adobe Supplement to the ISO 32000 BaseVersion: 1.7
+ExtensionLevel: 3".
+
+advantages:
+ - You can directly embed videos into the pdf (external window is optimal
+ and not necessary).
+ - You can play back videos without worrying about platform dependencies.
+
+disadvantages:
+ - You can only play back embedded videos with Adobe Reader 9 and upwards.
+
