    Ok, heres the score.

    If you wanted a stable CD-ROM that is a hybrid (for PC and Mac) use Director (MX - if your using Flash MX for your interface).

    This means that your basically using Director as a 'shell' in which your Flash Interface sits.

    This would allow you then to compile everything into one Director .exe - or - give the option to tap into the API of Windows or OS X using an Xtra such as BuddyAPI - this allows for file transfer, window handling, detection of platform os etc...

    Alternatively you could try to get yourself one of these - I have no idea if they run on macs tho...

    BuddyAPI for Director

    Please also remember that Flash is for the Web and as such has no real commands to client systems that it runs on.

    Your first choice to making a CD-ROM. should always be Director. Pick it up and learn it - if you don't know already. It is more powerful and less complicated (once you understand the basics) than you realise.

    Hope this helps. Apologies for ranting a little.

    Peace.
    :)
