Re: FLASH: Exe format (newbie question)

[Muzak]

Make a Standalone Projector (.exe) of your Flash movie (File > Publish settings). Then make an autorun.inf file, in Notepad or any

plain texteditor, with the following two lines in it:


[autorun]

open=yourfile.exe


There's no need to specify a drive (e.g. D:\...) but if your Projector file is not in the root of the CD, you have to specify the

path to the folder it is in. (e.g. open=somefolder\yourfile.exe)

Put both files (yourfile.exe and autorun.inf) on the CD, and that's it.

If you want to use a specific icon for the CD-drive when your CD is inserted, you can add this line to the autorun.inf file:


icon=youricon.ico


Put the icon and the autorun.inf file in the root of the CD and the CD drive will have your unique icon.


hth,
