Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: acroread

When using the old acroread (
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/acroread/acroread_9.4-1maverick1_amd64.deb
) flash movies play in the reader just fine.  However, using the new
reader (
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/acroread/acroread_9.4.2-0maverick1_amd64.deb
) navigating to any page with embedded flash movies causes an error
dialog stating "3D data parsing error has occurred".  This issue was
tested on Ubuntu 10.10, both versions of the reader loaded from the
official partner repository.

This feature is absolutely critical for the Linux version of the reader
as none of the other methods for embedding videos in PDFs work in the
Adobe Reader for Linux.  If necessary I can provide an example LaTeX
file, video, and resulting PDF to reproduce this problem.
