For the CTAN team
On Thu, 30 Apr 2009, Robert MaÅ™Ãk submitted an update to the
fancytooltips
package.
The package was inspired by the cooltooltips package. In contrast to
cooltooltips, fancytooltips allows inclusion of tooltips which contain arbitrary
TeX material or a series of TeX materials (animated graphics) from an external
PDF file. To see the tooltips, you have to open the files in Adobe Reader.
The links and JavaScripts are inserted using eforms package from the AcroTeX
bundle.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/fancytooltips/

Announcement text:

modifications necessary for slides which are divided into

by mouseover action only.
Two demo files for dvips route have been added.
