Re: FLASH: how to make mac projector with windows

[p-h]

Hi !


I think the safest way to proceed (I experienced it and it works) is the

following :


Create both projectors on your PC;

Upload the .exe and the .hqx files to a server somewhere (or send them by

mail to a Mac computer);

Download them (of get the mail) from a Mac;

Use Unstuffit or any suitable decompressor to change the .hqx file into a

Mac executable file;

Open a CD writing software (Toast by Adaptec is quite popular);

Create a temporary partition (on the Mac HD) and copy the relevant (Mac)

files in it;

Select the "Hybrid" format from the writing software menu;

Drag and drop the Mac temporary partition just created to the Mac part of

the CD layout;

Drang and drop the relevant PC files to the PC (ISO) part of the CD layout;

Setup the speed and other stuff;

Burn the CD... and voil� !

PS : if you only require a mac projector, just skip the "PC" part and choose

a regular Mac files&Folders format for the CD layout


PPS : I have posted a question regarding writing variables from a MC... if

you have any hint... ;o)

| Karin,

|

| May not have seemed very helpful but it was a straight answer. Anyways, he

| is right about needing to burn on a Mac to make a TRULY CROSS-PLATFORM cd.

| We've been having problems at work here burning data cd's on PC and having

| them readable on Mac the same way they are read on PC (long filenames).

Burn

| it on a Mac, no problem on either machines. Kinda weird though. But I have

| also heard that to make the cd boot properly if that is what you wish, and

| to get the proper session divisions, it's better to burn it on a Mac than

a

| PC.

| Sheesh, that wasn't very helpful.  I can hire a company to burn the

| CD's on a mac for a mac. I have been trying, without success, to

| simply  find out what kind of file I need to convert the hqx file into

| so it will work as a projector on a mac.  There is a web site that

| will convert the files.  Or, I guess I could tell all of these people

| with macs who want to buy this CD to go get a real computer.
