Hi I don't know where to put this one,
I have searched on Google for help to no avail, I am really stuck and up against a deadline so I hope someone can help.
I have made a SWF file in flash for my cd rom and I need to make it bootable so that it will autorun in both mac and pc computers.
I have found an option in Nero 7 which offers a hybrid option which seems the sort of thing I need but I can't seem to get this to work.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

I can't help with Mac, but for Windows create a file named autorun.inf in a plain text editor and put this in it:

[autorun]
OPEN=NAMEOFILE.SWF
ICON=NAMEOFILE.SWF,0

I think that will do it. If it doesn't, then make the .swf file a Projector file which will convert it to an .exe.
