The AcroFleX Package
Author: D. P. Story
Dated: 2020-08-07

The acroflex package is part of the AeB Pro family of packages.
It is a package that creates a graphing screen using the
rmannot package. The user can type in functions and graph them.
A graphing screen can be populated with pre-packaged functions for
the user the scrutinize and interact with.  The package can graph
functions of a single variable x, a pair of parametric equations that
are functions of t, and a polar function of t.

The graphing screen is a rich media annotation what uses a specially
developed SWF file, called the AcroFLeX Graphing widget. This package
takes advantage of rich media annotations, which is a version 9 feature
of Acrobat. This package requires Acrobat Pro and Distiller version 9.
The user needs to use Adobe Reader 9.0 in order to obtain the graphing
functionality.

What's New 2020-08-07: This package becomes obsolete as of 
December 2020. Beginning December 2020, Adobe no longer supports 
Flash player (SWF, FLV). This package uses a custom SWF file 
(acroflex.swf); as a result this package will no longer function 
in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The package will continue to produce 
PDFs as designed, but only if built using Acrobat XI (or a 
version Acrobat prior to December 2020) and viewed in Adobe 
Acrobat Reader XI (or a version of Reader prior to December 
2020). 

Now, I simply must get back to my retirement.
