Using Sound and Movies
You can add sound, movies, and Flash files to your document if it will be viewed
onscreen. The movie or sound file plays when you double-click its icon on a document
page.
Note: Some media files are protected under copyright law. Also, some downloaded
music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure
you have permission to use the files you want to include.

Important: To make sure that the movies and other media can be played and viewed
when your document is transferred to another computer, make sure that “Copy audio
and movies into document” is selected; after you choose Save or Save As, click the
disclosure triangle next to the field, and then click Advanced Options.
