Does Adobe Reader 8 support hostContainer?

Hi there!

I designed a form using LiveCycle Designer 8 and save it as a PDF.

I access the PDF through a html page.

The PDF worked all right if i using Acrobat pro 8,but when i using the PDF with Adobe Reader 8 it seemed that hostContainer can not work.



In the "docReady" event i call the following function:

function RegisterMessageHandler() {

event.target.hostContainer.messageHandler = {

doc:event.target,

onMessage: function(message)

{

onMessageFunc(message)

},

onError: function(error, message)

{

alert('PDF messageHandler onError: ' + error + ' ' + message);

},

onDisclose: function(cURL, cDocumentURL) { return true; }

};



}



And in the click event of a button i call this sentence:

if(!event.target.hostContainer)

app.alert( "No hostContainer obj" );

else{

.....

}



I don't know why Reader failed.

May be there is difference between Acrobat pro and Reader or the form need LiveCycle Extensions.

Can someone give me some idea?
