autorun & flash.swf

[joeri]

Hi out there,


I want to make a cd which runs a flash.swf file automatically when you insert the disc. Just by putting an autorun.inf file on the cd-rom with the next :

[open]=flash.swf

does not work. There are exe files available which open html files
but I just wanna open one swf-file with flash player6.
Is it also possible to put a file on the disc which checks if there is flash6 player already on the computer and then decides to install or not?

grtz, Joeri

People without Flash installed on thei system will probably not have Flash associated with .swf files. While .swfs can be loaded via IE, most people don't have the standalone player installed (it's installed when you install the Flash editting environment). You're better-off making your file an executable.

Make you file into a projector file.

Open it in Flash Viewer - then goto 'file/ save as projector.'

I use them all the time. This bundles a version of flash viewer with it so it's totally self contained and means the viewer doesn't even have to have Flash installed on their system.

alternatively you could automatically open the html page containing the flash swf file. That would open the browser for it to play.

thanx! the projector file works great!!

But now a second problem came up.....

The original swf file has a FS command on it which is :

FScommand(fullscreen,true);

So when I open this in the player the file-menu disappears and

I dont know how get it back to create the projector file!!

Shouldn't there be some alt-f4 button or something like that to

get it back??

first this chould go like thatfscommand("fullscreen",true); //u forgot the ""

also just if u want the menu get back hit the Esc key

[joeri]

Ok that code wasn't perfect...

but the escape button only minimizes the fullscreen

to the taskbar and there is still no option to

save it as a projector file.

what do u mean?? u wanna make a projector file from swf or what??
if u wanna make a projector file, just publish it as *.exe from the publish setting menu

[joeri]

Jep! It works great!!

An earlier reply to my post told me to do it from the flash player..

I know it sounds stupid but I didn't realize the publish setiings...

menu in flash.

Thanx for your valuable resource!

I know this is an old thread but I'm having an issue. Here's my code on the autorun.inf file.


[autorun]
open=index.html


The html page was not auto launched from the CD. Any ideas why? Can html pages be auto launched from a CD?
