Resources
Use the Resources tab to add files developed in Flash® to a 3D model for animation, effects, and textures. To bind a
Flash resource, select it from the list of resources, and then select a binding type (Foreground, Background, or
Material). To bind a material, also enter the material name for the part or parts where you want to display the material.
Use to add SWF files for animations and backgrounds for the 3D model.
Add
Select to add a directory of resource files to the 3D object.
Add Directory
Select a file in the list, and then click Remove to delete it from the file.
Remove
Displays the name of the file that is selected from the list. You can also rename a resource, which is useful with
Name
scripting. For example, you can replace the name with the one used in a script.
When adding files that are developed in Flash as a resource for a 3D model, binding determines how those
Binding
files interact. For example, you can identify a resource to run in the background and one to run in the foreground.
After you add the files to the file list, select one, and in the Binding section, select either Background, Foreground, or
Material.
3D designers can use the Material field to define a material to use in a model. The material name can be
Material
associated with a resource by selecting Material in the Binding section.
Flash developers can use the FlashVars field to add ActionScript™ variables for the selected file.

Interacting with 3D models

Displaying 3D models
In Acrobat, you can view and interact with high-quality 3D content created in professional 3D CAD or 3D modeling
programs and embedded in PDFs. For example, you can hide and show parts of a 3D model, remove a cover to look
inside, and turn parts around as if holding them in your hands.
A 3D model initially appears as a two-dimensional preview image. Clicking the 3D model with the Hand or Select tool
enables (or activates) the model, opens the 3D toolbar, and plays any animation.
