i am creating a cd-rom which is just a series of html pages. it contains a list of entrants ina contest, and when you click on a name a local folder is supposed to open with images of their entry. how can i do this? the only way i thought of would be zip the folder. what do you think, thanks.

unless I am mistaken, this is going to be pretty difficult, as different systems have different paths to the folder. not even thinking about mac/pc which would make it even more of a problem.

or do you mean 'local' to the cd?

a local folder on the CD...so they will be navigating through html pages, then open a local folder on the CD with a list of images....

is there a way you just have the folder name on the HTML 'a' tag, which would open a directory like page in the browser where you could click on the images? like

just use a getURL to the folder location. example:
if you had a folder named "content" within the same directory as the flash movie, simply use a getURL("content/") and that will launch the folder in whatever their default web browser is

this 'CDROM' is just HTML pages....

actually its not that hard. just make sure you have a good file structure.
ie.
index.htm
pages folder> page1.htm , page20.htm
images folder> blabla.jpgjust make sure links point correctly using relative links.
