Re: FLASH: standalone platform check

[Mats Persson]

Gregg & Andrew,


Just as a point of clarification.


Windows runs the .EXE file whereas the Mac version would run a Mac labelled

- "For Macintosh Only" -  projector file.  The .hqx file is a bin-hexed

compressed file format that cannot be run directly from a CD. It has to be

unstuffed (using Aladdin Stuffit Expander) and then run from the hard disk,

which may bugger up the CD-ROM.



The easiest solution to this question though I would think to be a dual

start projector file (one for PC and one for Mac) which both on start up

sets a variable "Platform" = "Mac" or "PC" depending on which file it is.


If you need any more help, give me a shout.


Hope that helps




Regards,


Mats
