Re: FLASH: Flash on a CD

[Karin Christensen]

Hi David,

There are several ways to do this.   I made a CD that has one exe file

which is a short introduction with some snappy music and starts up

with autorun.  The last frame of this intro has a load movie action

which loads the main navigation swf into level 0 replacing the intro.

This main swf has about 12 buttons each loading a different swf, again

into level 0.  All of these separate swf's have a link to load the

main navigation swf back into level 0.  I have done it with buttons,

allowing the viewer to choose what to load, but you can also load the

movies with a frame actions, so that when one movie is finished

another loads.

I think that if the exe is over 1 or 2 mb you may have problems.  MM

technotes has something on file sizes, sorry I don't have the link,

which I think also states that you need to keep all of the swf's in

the range of under 2 or 4 mbs.  You may have trouble with each being

400 mb.  Evidently, large files are better handled with Director.

The way I set it up the viewer never has to go back to the intro.
