Using Adobe Acorbat 6.0 Professional and cannot imbed mpegs for some reason.
Using Adobe Acorbat 6.0 Professional and cannot imbed mpegs for some reason. It has been awhile since I used it, but I would like to make an order form that permits an mpeg video clip pop-up while completing the order form to obtain instructions on various portions of the ordering process... anyone know how? I thought I did, but I can't seem to get into the tool that allows you to do this.

I was in error, mine is also Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional with all the latest upgrades...so I am going to attempt to follow yourinstructions and I will let you know, one question about the instructions if I may; number 4 what do you mean by Acrobat 6 Compatible Media? Is a mpeg compatible? and number 5 the path to the url? can you explain that as I have been pointing it to the mpeg video clip on my notebooks hard drive?
ASKER
One more thing ScottCha, if you don't mind.....are you indicating by url that I have to have the mpeg stored somewhere accessible on line? Any suggestions about how or where I would do that?

One more thing if you will; I have my form as a pdf and when I go to the advance editing and the movie tool it is an inactive tool, all gray and I cannot select it???
Here is a PDF and but i couldn't get the links to the demo:
