Hi there,  
I have created a website and now I want to put it in a CD in just one file (the projector.exe).  
My site contains many different swf with transitions, and loading external swf…  
Is there a way to “put everything together” and to create a sole file? or do I have to remake the whole site in a CD version??  
I’ve tried to import the swf into the Library but it doesn’t work (and for some reason when I import a swf into the Library, it just import the jpeg in it and not the swf).  
Thank you

If you load external assets, then obviously they are not included in the exe, you could still just add a folder, change the paths, and put everything in there…or you’d have to make a cd version…

When you say “add a folder” I imagine you are talking of adding it in the Cd, aren’t you?  
So, I have to create a CD version, as I have to put just one file in the CD. :o((  
Thank you anyway

just make a folder called swf and change the paths of your loaded swfs in the projector file they will link just fine now on a mac your going to have some issues since it exports as a hqx and not an actual executable file.

If you want to make it into a single projector file just open each fla select the whole timeline then select copy frames, go into the new file which will be your projector and add scenes for every swf you plan to load using this method then change the programming on the buttons to change scenes instead of loading swfs. Will work like a charm good luck.

I would recommend loading the clips into the library (since its an .exe on a cd loading won’t be a problem) and then attach them from the library instead of loading them externally.

ok, but how do I do that?  
I open the main movie and then “import” all the swf. How do I then attach them?  
Where I say “loadMovie ();” what should I say?  
Thank you
