CD help needed urgently
I have to produce a basic promotional CD but can't
find any tutorials or tips. I have Director 7 but there's
nothing in the help that explains how to do it.
I want to:
1. Enable someone to move from one static page to
another, as on a web site, using links from images
and text.
2. Distribute the CD for use on PC's and Macs.
This may be easy but I've never done it before and any
help would be appreciated.
CD will be produced on a mac running os 8
Thanks
Steve

I suppose that you could make the files HTML and standard jpeg or gif files, and then just use a CD maker program that should come with your burner to produce the CD's.. This is the best thing I can come up with off the top of my head for your situation.

And then, make a autorun file. How? go into a cd in Windows Explorer that autoruns, look for a file called 'autorun' and modify it for your uses.

make everything in HTML web pages. Use relative instead of absolute paths and everything will work off the CD-ROM! Make the "index.html" or "default.html" page come up automaticly when the CD is inserted. Also make an icon that will represnt what you did. Save a bitmap file of correct size (32 pixles by 32 pixles) and save it. Then rename file from *.bmp to *.ico you then have an icon! (you can "link" to the Icon for the CD from anywhere on the CD) Then do this:
Open NotePad, or equivelent.
type: (say if file is in folder "presentation" and is called "index.html")
[autorun]
OPEN=presentation\index.html
icon=myicon.ico
this should help....
God Bless,
