I am doing a preview presentation for a book in a CD (in a standalone projector .exe), and ive got a problem, i need to put all the book in a CD, so for now i converted every page of te book to an image and load them into the presentation by the means of a "ScrollPane", but ive encountered a problem now!!

if i put all the images on the presentation cd, anyone will be able to open them and print them, having all the book, so is there anyway i can put large images in the movie (with a scrollbar) without having to load them from a .jpg outside the movie??

Thanx!

Well, the easiest solution (from a "I don't want to have to remake the whole thing" point of view) is probably just to rename all your JPG files something else like "myfile.dat" and then change the path in Flash. Flash will still recognize them as JPGs despite the name.
Failing that your best bet is to include them in one huge SWF and use attachMovie instead of loadMovie.

Hey that piece of advice was great!! i wud have never figured out by myself that flash would still load it even if it was not a .jpg!!

you saved my life (well at least a week of it!)
