Yes, in the meantime I noticed that too. Acrobat 5 doesn't support those 
JS stuff at all, but the funny thing is that Acrobat 6 supports only a 
half of it. I was already running a continuous animation in Acrobat 6 
(the one mentioned above), however it was compiled from plain TeX and I 
don't know how to include the fields in the same way in ConTeXt and how 
to write the same JS code for them.

JS(Rotate_Star) didn't work in Acrobat 6, but I don't want to care about 
the bugs in Adobe products. They will never be removed (if ever) as soon 
as the bugs are removed from ConTeXt :)
