    Hi
    If you are talking about a cd-rom type presentation ,combining ,music video and flash effects with navigation the answer is yes ,Swish can handle this very well , and it is much easier to do it in Swish than a lot of programs designed for cd-rom purpose .

    open editor and type the following:

    [autorun]
    open=myswf.exe

    save the file as autorun.inf
    this should be in the root of your cd (not in a directory)

    in swish place a "FS Command -> Command:Fullscreen -> Argument:true" action at frame 0 of your movie (rightclick into the op row to place the action).

    provide a button to close the movie: "on release -> FS Command -> Command:Quit -> Argument:true"

    doubleclick on the swf to open the flash standalone player, and convert it to exe.

    Don't know if I'm mistaken, but I think the autorun code is a bit more difficult. At least it was when I did a CD-Rom Presentation with html Files (maybe exe are different?). I downloaded the autostart manager (http://lab1.de/prod/cd-arm/index.htm) from the net, which is free and was a great help, allowing you to make choices for icons, etc. It is in German though ...
    Cheers Erin

    that's right, the autorun.inf will work only with exe files. to autolaunch html files, you'll have to use other solutions.

    Hi Lys12,

    In your previous post :

    open editor and type the following:

    [autorun]
    open=myswf.exe

    save the file as autorun.inf
    this should be in the root of your cd (not in a directory)

    in swish place a "FS Command -> Command:Fullscreen -> Argument:true" action at frame 0 of your movie (rightclick into the op row to place the action).

    provide a button to close the movie: "on release -> FS Command -> Command:Quit -> Argument:true"

    doubleclick on the swf to open the flash standalone player, and convert it to exe.


    if you are using a full screen command and double clicking it you could not access the flash player menu to convert it to exe ??? Am I missing something ?

    Thanks

    Snip:
    open editor and type the following:

    [autorun]
    open=myswf.exe

    save the file as autorun.inf
    this should be in the root of your cd (not in a directory)
    /Snip

    Ok, I have an EXE entitled NEScatalog.exe
    and have an INI text file in the same top directory of a CD I burned.

    [autorun]
    open=NEScatalog.exe

    It won't play (boohoo). Does it matter if the disc is a CD-RW?

    did you create a autorun.inf or a autorun.ini. It must be autorun.inf in order for it to work.

    Ok, I changed the filename to .inf, but still no luck.

    I thought that my problem might be an issue with my CD-Rom (good point)...so I went into the device manager for my drive.

    I have DMA and auto-insert notification both checked...other CD applications popup just fine.
