cd rom > saving files to hard drive

[pixelvoodoo]

Afternoon all,

I have a flash exe projector on a cd rom for pc's. On the opening page there is a button which I'm trying to get to save a zip file on the disc to a location of your choice on your hard drive.

I know this has been covered a billion times, but could anyone tell me the easiest way to click this button, open a save dialog box to allow to to choose where to save, and then it copies over.

I've tried loads stuff but nothing seems to work. Please help!!

I've developed a bunch of FREE tools over the years for developing applications with Flash. They don't come close to offering the power of a commercial swf2exe tool but they allow you to do the most commonly required things like opening external files (like PDF, etc) in their registered applications without the ugly DOS box, getting rid of the projector window decoration (chrome), copying files from a CD to the HD. There are more, but these seem to be the most popular.

copy2 (http://www.northcode.com/misc/copy2.zip)
2desktop.zip (http://www.northcode.com/misc/2desktop.zip)
ncstart (http://www.northcode.com/misc/ncstart.zip)

My copy2 utility is the one you're looking for, but you'll probably want to use the proxy tool as well. There was a big discussion about the proxy utility (and some others) in http://www.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=519274 that might help with some of the implementation details.
