Q's about flash on a CD

I've been working on a project recently where I have to put flash on a CD (bet you couldn't guess that from the title) for the user to view it.

Now, let's say that this user has been living in a hole for the past ten years and doesn't have a flash player for their computer, how do I equip the CD so that they can download flash player from the CD and view the .swf? The .swf will be viewed on the CD and not from the internet.

Is all this possible to do without the help of an internet connection?



Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!

Have you considered making your flash content (.swf) into a projector file (.exe)? This basically bundles the player with the content so the user doesn't need to have or to download Flash Player. You can do this from within Flash (when publishing, publish to an .exe format) or from within Flash Player while viewing your .swf (there is an option under "file," I believe, that says "create projector" or something similar).

I use MX04pro so there may be some discrepancy with other versions, but I think this might be an overall better option than having the Flash Player files separate but on the CD. I wouldn't know how to do that anyway :-).
