So I’m wanting to put my Portfolio site on a CD Rom base with an autorun file on there to handout to employers.

I have a main navigation menu for my site made out of a SWF file that has 5 buttons with this script:

on (release) {

//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("/2007/tyler/graphics/graphics_work.html","_self");
//End Behavior

}

This works perfectly online of course, but now I want the buttons to find the html files for each page on the cd locally, not online. So I changed the script to this:

on (release) {

// Trigger Data Source Behavior
// Macromedia 2003
none.trigger("../graphics/graphics_work.html");
//End Behavior

}

Now its just giving me trouble. At one point it worked in IE but not in any Mozilla browsers. I’ve messed around with the /’s and my folder arrangement and a number of different things…
sometimes it stops working in IE, and sometimes it doesn’t… but I just can’t get it to work in everything.

If ANYONE has any suggestions or can put together a script I can replace with mine that they know will work. And also could you explain how to write a proper local path in Action Scripting?

This would all be very much appreciated!!!!!

The only way that I how to make it work properly is purchase software that will determine what drive your CD will use depending on which computer you use.
