Download .zip files from .swf on a cd

[Lightbulb5]

I'm making a site that will be distributed on cd and needs downloadable .zip files throughout the site. I know if it was to be on a server you'd use 'getURL' - but what about from a cd. (I don't want the user to just copy them off the cd) Does anyone know how to do this or if it's possible?
Thanks.

not sure, just a thought:

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/blabla.zip

or similar...

Yeah, i just had another look at the code after I posted, and tried that - it works, but would just have to assume the user's cd drive is called a certain letter.

Always use relative paths and never absolute as the users hard drive or Cdrom letter may vary!
You can use the following action for opening you zip file.

on (release) {
getURL("01.zip", "_blank");

}

If you zip file is on folder
on (release) {
getURL("folder/01.zip", "_blank");

}

If you want to go out of the folder the flash is, use ..
Note that if you are going to use a Flash projector you must use the projectors root for every swf loaded. e.g. flash exe is on the cd, first swf is on folder1 and zip.zip is on folder1/folder2
on (release) {
getURL("folder1/folder2/zip.zip", "_blank");//and not "folder2/zip.zip"

}
