Bug Description

This bug is a prerequisite to #1246050. It is probably easier to fix this than #1246050.

#1246050 is, roughly:
"The media9 LaTeX package contains a little flash program VPlayer.swf implementing a video player. This flash program will be embedded by LaTeX in the output pdf file. As a result, the pdf can contain movies, played by VPlayer.swf, if the pdf document viewer supports flash.

(see http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/media9/doc/media9.pdf for the details)

Unfortunately, this cannot currently be implemented in open source pdf viewers, because lightspark does not play the VPlayer.swf file. "

Now, the author of VPlayer.swf has been so kind as to backport the program to "Flashplayer 9" using flex-3. That should make it easier to support. Also, the source code is available. However, the backported program still cannot be played by lightspark. The error is

It would be great if these callbacks could be supported
