Fullscreen Projector

nutbolt · #1 Mar 11th, 2007, 15:33

Hi

Having trouble finding out how to do this simple thing.
I've built a CD Rom and I want the projector for both windows and mac to open automatically in fullscreen. That's it; but I can't find anything telling me how to do and haven't got much time (deadlines tomorrow).

Please help

And thanks in advance!

Like an Autorun?
Sure.
Put this in it

Code: Select all

[autorun]
open=filenamehere
icon=if theres an icon, put that here

There ya go.

sorry I put this in my actions layer but it didn't work. where do i put this???

Does it make it fullscreen???

Thanks

This goes on the CD-Rom itself. not in the action script. Sorry for not specifying. Put this into a notepad doc and save it as TITLE.inf
And replace title with whatever your calling your CD.

This makes it as big as you made the flash. So if you built it at 500x500, then it will auto run as 500x500

Thanks for the reply again.

Sorry to be a pain but it's still not working. Is it because I'm on a mac? I don't have notepad so I used textedit. Maybe I need one thing for Mac like applescript, and one thing for PC like what you said, is that right??

regards

Oo...yeah...I'm not a mac user...So I wouldn't know what to do...Can you run virtual PC or Parallel?

Should it not be called autorun.inf? Then you put in the code to run the executable at 100% instead of at the regular stage size

Can you give me the code for that Jocab. And how do I make a .inf file on a mac? Do I need 'notepad' or can I literally put '.inf' at the end of a textedit file.

Thanks for the reply

Regards

Any standard text editor...that is not a Rich Text Editor should work just fine. Before I can tell you the code to run it at 100%, I have to know what file you are trying to run at 100%. Are you trying to run an html file, or an exe file, or an swf file at 100%?

Thanks Jacob.

It's an swf flash projector.

JacobHaug · #11 Mar 12th, 2007, 16:35

Most people are not going to be able to launch an swf...unless they know to right click and select open with internet explorer...or Firefox. If this is goingt o be placed on a cd...then I would recommend exporting it as an exe, and then do the autorun like described above. Then within the settings change the exe to open maximized!!

nutbolt · #12 Mar 12th, 2007, 18:35

I'm trying to export it on both plaforms; exe and a stand alone projector.
Anyone on a PC should have the 'exe.' open fullscreen when the CD is inserted and the same with a mac but the 'projector' opens automatically instead. (I assume its a swf inside the flash projector)

Does it...can it work like this?

Thanks for the reply

You might have to have two different types of CDs.
Because you can only have one autorun file, or it'll get confused and try to run both.
