how to create an auto-run Flash movie on CD-rom? 1

[qotyebw]

How's the best way to have a user insert a CD-rom, and to automatically have a Flash movie play?

Make the flash movie as an .EXE, then include a file on the CD called autorun.inf that has two lines:

[autorun]
OPEN=FlashMovie.exe

That's it!

Hi Cecilia,

On your Cd question. Save your flash as both a .exe and a Mac projector file.

Use the autorun for the exe. When you burn the CD w/
toast (I'm on a Mac)choose custom hybrid.
Create a temp partition for each projector file. For the Mac version place the projector file in the partition. Mount both volumes (they should be already). Select the volume in the custom hybrid option for the Mac, check the autostart option and choose your projector file. Make sure the file name is not to long. I think you are limited to 8 characters. No need for an file .extension.
This works nicely an enables the CD to autoplay on either a Mac or PC.

If you are on a PC. I'm at a loss.

What exactly do you want to do w/ the VR file? Do you want to load it/ Or convert it to a Flash "VR"?

Cheers!
