I think pdf2swf can work for us too. But we need to solve one issue.
The differences between FlashPaper (Paper.swf) and out new SWF files pdf2swf creating an ActionScript frame and in the contractor first line in the rfx.MainTimeline.as adding a line Security.allowDomain("*")
That is good line for loading SWF from a web but unfortunately is not working and implemented in AIR platform.
So, we need to find a way how to omit generating any ActionScript from pdf2swf
You can download Sothink SWF Decompiler for comparing those files

I am out today, but can you try older version of pdf2swf
That's good enough, i'll use mySWF file and just not use search in book so it's fine.
I just really want to thank you for all your assistance and help. I know you have taken out a lot of your time to help me, and many times you have gone above and beyond what so many other experts would be willing to do, and for that I really want to thank you.
I don't think I will have any more questions, so I want to say it was a pleasure working with you :)
Thank you for everything, and I might be thinking of commercialzing my product and will try to get a grant from my University to start the business. If I am successfull, I will need to outsource development and will pay for it.
Would you be interested in such an offer?
If you, you can email me at ma2rafiq@uwaterloo.ca and we can discuss in detail.

The search is not working can be two problems
1) pdf2swf cannot recognize text document because you PDF version for Adobe Reader 1.7 what is latest one. In this case you need to open your document and save for older version. For example I compiled Adobe Flash Builder RDF file under C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 what PDF version is 1.5 and it's working well
2) May be problem with fonts and pdf2swf cannot recognize.
Please can you IDesign verify what the font name use some standard one such as Arial and save as PDF version 1.5
I attached generated with same attributes SWF file what working well on search ComputerNetworking.swf

By the way latest version of Sothink SWF Decompiler can convert existing SWF to HTML5.
Or maybe you can find a tool for converting PDF to HTML5. That should work on mobile better than SWF
1) The version I am use for Adobe is 10.1.2 - Adobe Reader X. To save as older version, do I need to uninstall this version and install 1.5? Or is there another way to do it.
2) The font type in InDesign for the book is Times New Roman.
I have attached 2 Snapshots
1) It describes the PDF preset and mentions that it should be compatible with v1.4
2) Different export options I have from InDesign.
I can export using the compatible with 1.4v, but the question remains, after I export PDF, how will the PDF2SWF embed the video files?
1 workaround I can think of is by exporting as SWF first, this will produce all the resources folder. Then export as PDF, convert to SWF (as it wont have videos), but keep the same name for the file. So when Flex needs the resources, they will already be present from the SWF file resources.
