publishing flash movie to cd

[jeanzee]

My Flash movie is in 3 pieces, 2 of which are only loaded into the main movie when necessary. When I burn the files to CD, I'm worried that the user (in this case, potential employers) will be confused as to which projector to play. Of course I'll print instructions on the CD label, but many times people skip those. If I place the main movie projector in a seperate folder, it can't find the other movies when called to. Any suggestions?

i'm not sure if this will work... but try putting a file caled autorun.inf into the root of the CD, which you can use to run the flash movie automatically; then you can leave it all in root.

(Check on any software CD's you have lying around for the format!)

Can't really see the problem here cause the file you want them to click will be an EXE file and look like a little pink diamond, whilst the other movies will be SWFs. Why don't you just name the EXE something really obvious like My Flash Movie, and then rename the others with obscure names (of course this will mean you have to change the names in your actionscript as well). I think most people would realise which one to click. Nick Price

Duhh. I published the extra movies as projectors also when they only needed to be swf's. Thanks Nick X-)

or just make sure the files are 'hidden' as well as using an autorun.inf script.
