The fldigigal package
Dated: 2020-08-08

The fldigigal package uses the rmannot package (Adobe Distiller workflow
required) to create, what I am calling, an AcroTeX Flash Digital Gallery;
that is, a Flash slide show that displays a series of digitals (PNG, JPG,
GIF). The document author describes the digitals (path and caption) from
the LaTeX source, on compilation, fldigigal write an XML file, which
Distiller embeds in the PDF. The digitals may be embedded in the PDF, or
reside on the Internet (reducing filesize). Three layouts of are offered
at this time: vertical thumbnails, horizontal thumbnails, or no
thumbnails.

What's New 2020-08-08: This package becomes obsolete after December 2020. 
Following December 2020, Adobe no longer supports Flash player (SWF, FLV). 
This package uses a custom SWF file (fdg_ht1.swf, eg); as a result this 
package will no longer function in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The package will 
continue to produce PDFs as designed, but only if built using Acrobat XI (or 
a version Acrobat prior to 2021) and viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader 
XI (or a version of Reader prior 2021). 

Now, I simply must get back to my retirement.
