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...

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.
