How easy is it to export out a flash animation. Resave the .swf as a projector file. Make that file self starting and burn it onto a CD. Hope I got those steps right.
How much coding is involved so someone on either a PC or Mac can pop the CDROM into their machine and it auto starts right into the Projector pres.
thanks,

1. You can export a projector directly from flash, both Mac and PC.
2. What app are you using to burn your CD?

Toast Titanium.
I got the export out of flash and projector part down. It is the Mac/PC workability that I am missing. Unless I am adding another step.
thanks,

The tricky part is to get it to autorun. My CD will autorun with PCs, but not Macs, but that's fine because all of my clients are on PCs. Something to consider. Here's an explanation of it all.

With Toast you need to go to the "Other" menu and select "Custom Hybrid".
Once you select you mac volume there will be a couple of options, one of them being autorun. Click on the checkbox and you will be prompted to select the target file.
As for the PC auto run, I don't know. If anyone else does please add.

in notepad make a file named AUTORUN.INF
inside should be:
[autorun]
open=RUNME.exe
icon=whatever.icoRUNME is the name (or whatever you choose )of your exe file.
save.
put in root directory with the exe file and whalla.

pc autorun :
open notepad.
write :[autorun]
open=YourExeFile.exe
label=TheCDLabelInWinExplorersave the file as autorun.inf
and burn to root directory of your cd.
works.
this way you can do lotsa things (like cd icon in windows explorer, but don't remember that off the top of my head, do some googling)

just use whatever plaintext editor you have and do it as we told.

cool thanks. I think BBEdit might work? I think.

I've had trouble with inf files (they didn't work) made in simple-text on the mac before, not sure why... I ended up writing them in notepad on vpc.
just incase you have trouble.

i believe you should save them in ansi format. not unicode or something else like that.
but i may be wrong.
