when creating CD ROM content

[muppet]

I've not done this before, so any answers here might help others (or links to info elsewhere as well) so ...

I know PCs use the autorun.inf file, is this true for MACs too?
The PC uses the .exe file ... is this true for MACs?
How do I ensure the .exe opens full screen dependent on the users settings?
Can I have a small .exe file that is used only to open the SWF files, or should it all be in the same .exe??

Questions, I know, but hopefully not too silly. Thanks in advance.

I dont have much info on the autorun.inf file for Mac but I am sure that .exe doesnt run on mac's.
A projector .exe in windows is probably with a .hqx extension in Mac.
For fullscreen (.exe for windows) use the code in the first frame for fscommand -fullscreen set to true;
And its better to have all swfs in one projector .exe

can you have both MAc and PC content on the same CD and the autorun.inf file be correctly selected by the operting system to know which to try and run??

in publish preview [mx pro 2004] select "macintosh projector"

the.exe WILL NOT run on a MAc.

A .Inf file will also NOT work on a mac.

since os x it is nigh impossible to get auto start to work on a mac.

in os 9 quicktime controlls autostart but many users turn it off.

dont rely on it...rely on it NOT auto starting on a mac.

Fscommand for fullscreen works on Mac's and PC's regardless of user settinggs...what user settings..remember a projector does not run in the browser.

I have just found though that .swf's [with fscommand on frame1] loaded from a projector file that is already at full screen does not open at full screen?????

dont know the answer to this
