Creating a CD-ROM from my website??

[m021478]

Does anyone know how I can put a 'virtual' copy of my flash animated website onto a cd-rom disc so that when its inserted into a computer (Mac and PC), it automatically 'autoruns' and pops open a web browser on the viewers computer that shows the content of my website (being read locally from the disc rather than from online, so as to allow for offline viewing)?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Add the flash/html to the CD just as you did on the website itself. The only differences are that any HTML on the CD can't use server-side scripting (ASP, PHP, Pearl, etc), they have to be static pages. Second, make sure all of the links pointing to other pages are relative links.

Example, an abosllute link may look like this:
http://www.oaktree-imaging.com/knowledge/digital_bw/

A relative link replaces the "http://www.oaktree-imaging.com" with "../" or "/"
i.e. "../knowledge/digital_bw/"

"../" takes the link back one directory and "/" takes the link back to the home-page.

For autorun you want to create a text file called "autorun.inf" that will reside in the root directory of the CD.

Inside that, type:
"[autorun]
shellexecute=index.htm"

In the above make sure the index.html file (your sites homepage) is in the root of the directory as well.


It should be noted that this will only work on systems with autoplay active (no Windows system should due to blatantly huge security issues though many do) and it will not work on Mac or Linux systems.
