Multiple Animations in a PDF

Question

I have followed a tutorial on animations in .pdfs made by
Right Hemisphere and have got things working....
...however, the tutorial plays back ALL of the animations in the u3d at
once. I have created a u3d file with Deep Creator which has mutiple
animations. By multiple, I mean that one object has its own animation,
and another object has its own animation. The code provided in the
tutorial plays both of these animations at the same time. I want
to tie a button to play only one of the animations, and another button
to play the other animation.
Is this even possible???
I've been searching the internet and the Acrobat 3D API but have not
found any help.
BTW: I am only using Acrobat 8.0 Pro for this project
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

Answer 1

First of all... the first result I get on Google when I search for "acrobat 3D api documentation" is the acrobat 3D API for version 8
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_3d_api_reference.pdf
Second... this is a better way to do it with multiple animations
//====================
function AnimationObject(animationIndex)
this.Anim = scene.animations.getByIndex(animationIndex);
this.timer = new TimeEventHandler();
this.timer.active = false;
this.timer.onEvent = function(event)
if (this.timer.active)
this.Anim.owner.currentTime += event.deltaTime;
if (this.Anim.owner.currentTime > this.Anim.owner.endTime )
this.Anim.owner.currentTime = this.Anim.owner.startTime;
runtime.addEventHandler(this.timer);
this.start = function()
this.timer.active = true;
this.stop = function()
this.timer.active = false;
var anim1 = new AnimationObject(0);
var anim2 = new AnimationObject(1);
var keh = new KeyEventHandler();
keh.onEvent = function(event)
if (event.characterCode == 32) //Spacebar
anim1.timer.active = !anim1.timer.active;
else if (event.characterCode == 99) //lower case 'c'
anim2.timer.active = !anim2.timer.active;
runtime.addEventHandler(this.keh);
