    Hey there all!
    I have been wondering this for a while and the advent of the business card CD has really motivated me. Shoebox mentioned making a flash projector CD and gave an example in another thread. I am interested in how one goes about doing this, is there a tutorial running around? Can you auto install the flash player for peole? Is this a relativly simple project or is it tricky, either way Im up to the challenge I would just honestly like to know what I have to look forward to, Thanks !!

    I think it is simple, but I have never tried it myself so I can't be sure .

    In theory, you should just have to:

    1) Navigate to the .swf file in explorer

    2) Double click on the .swf file, this will open it in the standalone flash player instead of in a browser or the like.

    3) Select File->Create Projector (once again, I can't double check on this machine so just look for something close to "Create Projector)

    4) An .exe file should be created containing your movie, this file should be self sufficient (the user should not need to download the flash player)

    5) Copy the .exe file to the root directory of your cd

    6) Create an autorun.inf file (just a standard .txt file with a different extesion) containing the following text.

    [autorun]
    open=yourfile.exe
    icon=youricon.ico

    And that should do it

    There are also quite a few tutorials on this kind of thing here

    Tell me how it goes

    Mugen once a exe is created the people has no need to download the plugin. It is completely independant of anything.

    I'm also working on a cd. The autorun on a PC is no problem but I can't find anywhere how to Autorun a Cd on a Mac.
