A while ago someone suggested I use FreeMX to have apps (browser mainly) to appear onto of a projector. This seemed like the ideal solution.

Problem is I can't get it to work and I had difficulty following the "bare" READ ME file. If someone could explain how to make it work properly - with big crayon drawings and small words that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

I'm having trouble getting FreeMX to work as well.

Did you ever figure out how to make it work for you?

I fixed it - here were the problems:

1. had publishing options set to Flash 5, matters for swf's on web but not projector files. Not sure this was a problem, but I think it needs to be set to Flash 6.

2. freeMX wants explicit paths for files. That's a potential problem for files going on a CD. I was able to use "../test.swf".

3. Had to use 'fmxExec' for web sites as well as swf's. 'fmxGetURL' didn't like my URL's for some reason.
