    Is there a way to browse the CD or a folder on the CD?

    You can launch the Windows Explorer (not IE) from a projector like this:

    // \t is a tab, which you have to use instead of a space.
    // Flash ignores everything after the first space.

    fscommand("exec", "explorer.exe\tc:");

    You can target any drive you like (or leave it out to browse all drives). The catch is you can't be sure which drive letter is the CD.

    That's about the best you can do without a third party tool.

    You can check out my product, SWF Studio (www.northcode.com) as a possible solution and I believe "The Master" also has CD support in his free flash tools (ftools) package.

    What about on a Mac?

    I'm actually working on a cross platform CD to be run on
    WIN95-98/ME/XP/NT/2000/MAC/LINUX/SOLARIS. However WIN & MAC is my primary focus to be supported. I need to at least be able to provide a browser function on the Mac as well if I go this route. I just need to be able to open a Folder on both platforms from the CD. Any ideas?
