you cannot open a swf file in a new window unless its in a html file ---

what if you did a geturl code but instead of an url, put a generic file path that all cdroms are usually found in ex: e:\myflasstuff\whatever.swf ---

> \*Originally posted by scarce \* > \*\*what if you did a geturl code but instead of an url, put a generic file path that all cdroms are usually found in ex: e:\myflasstuff\whatever.swf \*\* I do not suggest this because a projector file is meant to be run on any computer even one that does not have flash installed, so lets say a user doesnt have flash player he clicks on a link to open a swf or a html page he wont see anything, besides if you are running more than 1 swf at once the computer will start to lag it all depends on how much animation is going on, so thats a big no no even if you are opening a swf in a html window the computer will lag a bit. When making a CD-Rom based project try to make everything work on the projector file and if your going to add html files with swfs embedded i urge you to dowload the free macromedia showckwave player and include it on the cd, you just have to sign a small form to be able to distribute it, that way if the user doesn have the flash player he can install it because it will be on your cd project.
