Loading external swf files

[Blaze]

Hello guys,

I'm having a bit of trouble. I have around ... 150 pdf files that I need to put into flash. I know you can import pdf files, but I need them to have the normal pdf options, you know, zoom, change pages, scrollbars, etc. I could easily make those options and adjust them, but then I'd have to go through the trouble of importing every single pdf to the library, and make up for huge filesize.

I found this page; www.pdfmenot.com that will convert any .pdf to a .swf with nice options. I downloaded the resulting swf, and I can't import it into flash. I'm assuming it's done in flash CS3 since I decompiled it and flash 8 won't run it, so I decided to open externally each of the .swf files.

The problem is, The scrollbars do NOT appear if I load the movie in a movieclip. They only appear if I load the movie into a level or into the_root, like, I could go:

loadMovie(" pdf.swf",1);

and It will load correctly. However, I will someday need this to unload. So whenever I unload the level 1, it goes away. However, if I want to reload, the scrollbars are missing. It happens after the first load, any file loaded into ANY level's scrollbars will go away.

Can anybody propose a solution to this? Or perhaps a way to not unload the movie, just hide it.

Thanks in Advance.

Either that, or...

Does anybody know if exporting a file as a .exe from flash makes it visible on ANY computer? I need this app to be runn-able on any PC. And since windows XP comes pre-equipped with flash player 6, that's what I'm aiming for. Unless .exe files can be executed without any player.

You do need flash player to open up and play the .exe

Also, when converting to an .exe, you'll get an increased file size.

I know about the increased filesize...

Then Flash player 6 would be the best bet, right?

thanks.
