Ok, I exported my flahs movie, I opened it flash player, and created a projector file..
I sent it to my client, and they cant open it, we are both on mac, osx, whats going on?
is it not possible to create a projector file for this system?

could be your auto-run setup: Autorun on Macintosh
To create a Macintosh projector that uses the autorun feature you must have CD burning software that supports this option such as Roxio's Toast or other similar CD burning software.

I see what you are saying jaz, but I have not gone to the cd part yet. so Im jus having problems with the flash projector file..
is it possible that you cant do this for osx??

which projector are you using ?
- Meeklo0
what do you mean?
Im using flash MX 6
I thought you export your swf, then open it in flash player and save it as projector file..then it turns it in to an executable file, standalone, so there is no need to have flash installed.. right?
is this not possible on mac? I know you can do it on pc..

just making sure you were exporting a .hqx and not a pc projector

I know the projector files are not compatible, but I didnt get an option to exported as mac or pc..where do yuo get that and what version of flash are you using..

ok..
problem not solved..
it says is exporting the projector file, I tested the pc one on my rommates pc, works perfect..
my client tested the mac one, on 3 computer with osx, nonce of them recognizes the file as an application.. what could be the problem?
I dont see an extension on my file, maybe that?
Im looking on macromedia site, but it doesnt say anything about creating a flash projector on a mac

go into publish settings, check mac projector and pc projector. then hit publish. you will have 2 files: one only works on a pc and one only works on a mac.
i hope that helps.
