This is an issue with the old way of handling flash movies. It broke in some version of Acrobat/Reader with an OS update. The old method of embedding flash movies into a pdf, just doesn't work on a Mac. If the swf is manually placed in the pdf, then they will work on a Mac. Adobe's new way of handling swf files is much more reliable on Mac and Windows. Alas, there is nothing you can do to get these swf files to play on a Mac, without installing Windows :-( Mike
