Hey,

I have just finished a presentation I have been making and require it to be on a self running CD-Rom. Anyone know how to implement this? I just want the presentation to open up full screen and run when the user inserts the disk.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Go into your publish settings and make sure to check the box for exe (I’m assuming you will be launching on a PC. If you are launching on a Mac it’s slightly different).

also you need to create an inf file. Just open notepad and copy and paste this into it:

```auto

[autorun]
OPEN=YourFileNameHere.exe

```

Change YourFileNameHere to whatever the name of the exe is and save the file as “autorun.inf”. Make sure it is on the cd along with the exe and the swf.

no - they use different formats. you can see that in your publishing settings.
