Auto Launching Flash Projector From CD

[jamesflex]

I'm developing a promotional cd for a local company. Is there action script that I can include, that will command the Flash projector to launch once CD is loaded into the bay? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

The code inside flash cannot invoke the system to start the player. It has nothing to so with flash, it has to do with the system and autorun.ini files on the cd that invoke the system to run the application.

Open Notepad and write these two lines:

[autorun]
open=name_of_your_projector.exe
icon=your_icon.exe

Save this as AUTORUN.INF file and burn it on the root of CD together with your projector. You can skip icon line if you don't want your CD to show custom icon in Windows Explorer.

If you want to do crossplatform CD that autoruns on PC and Mac, things get a bit complicated. Check this thread, you'll find a tutorial about projectors and crossplatform CD burning:

While your at it, about the icon, what kind of file does it has to be??
jpg? gif? What?? and about the size which??

Nope, it has to be Windows icon format, any simple grafic file won't do. Check the above tutorial, there is a link for two free programs for making icons on PC ans Mac.

Hope this helps...
