running flash player from a CD

[catapultparlor]

is this still relevent, when you are running flash, driven with xml text from a CD?

Or is this now going to cause more trouble?

The best way to run a flash project from cd is to publish it as a projector. It will oporate completly independently. The user wont need a flash plaer or an internet connection. The file size is large though. Don't know if this helped hope it did

thanks!
Hup, i've been looking into projector.
I believe the issue is that it needs to be embedded in html. I'm the second generation working on this project, and the creators made a nice cookie setting that tracks where one is in the flash tutorial and places a cookie on the machine, via the html base. I don't think projector will allow that - it wouldn't load inside another page, which makes sense.

But is this true? Because this was made in an old version of flash, i'm affraid i'm out of luck, and that the methods are really different now in flash 8 and uptodate flash security.

someone suggested the following, but it didn't work either. the exe just won't load inside html:

"If you need to send data then there are a few tricks. If you can package the course shell as a flash 5 exe using some older software, it will not pack with any security code and can send data behinds the scene, that newer versions disable. The course is old enough that it should be able to do that. (just mental ramblings)"

thanks for any ideas, or reality checks you have!!!

Wow, i think you may be out of luck. Your right though the projetor wont help the issue you are talking about. I am affraid i am not good enough to help. The only other thing i can think of is to try publishing through flash 8 but publish under actionscript 1.0 and flash player 5. I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a shot i guess. I know it will affect any new action scripting you've done though.
