Hi, I'm designing a CD-ROM which will run at a show WITHOUT an internet connection. What I want to do is have an about page with my details on it and a button which launch either a copy of my whole website (files on the CD) or my own CD-ROM exe file (also on the CD)..

Is this possible to do in flash with the GETURL action? If so, how do I code it so no matter waht the drive letter on the CD drive is, it will run (ie: _root + path syntax)?

I'm sorry but this is kind of urgent as the CD-ROM must be out by beginning of next week, Any help would be greatly appreciated..


Cheers,

Dear Paul,

First you make an autorun file to call the first page on the cd. Let's say index.exe

After you launched your executable, you can direct to any file within the root of the presentations:

in case you need to go to a specific folder:
getUrl(../folder/file) etc...

Place your index in a folder called website, and call that file in your presentation with a _blank command,
then you get a new window, from your first page on the website you can navigate freely...

Hope this helps,

greetz,
