:z: How can we detect a cd rom drive letter in a pc using actionscript ?  
Is it possible from flash or I have to use another scripting language ? Actually I want to play a movie from the cd rom only and like to prevent it playing from the hard disk . If there is another language then how do I use it in flash mx ?
