Developing a Website to be run from a DVD?

> This technology opens huge doors of possibility for this sort of thing!

My understanding is that AIR allows you to make a desktop-application
interface that then interfaces with your web data. Basically, allows you to
create custom thin clients.

So, I'm not sure that would really work in this case where it sounds like
they want an accessible DB also on the DVD.

Hi Vooc,

You can do a straight HTML/CSS based site and run it from a DVD, you can
even have some JavaScript, anything that is Client Side, or browser based.
Unfortunately, when you say "interactive" It sounds like you are looking for
more than this. Although you could do quite a bit with AJAX, you will be
limited to reading data. Interactive implies writing as well, and there's
where your going to get stuck. There's where you'll need Director - OR -
what I would suggest is taking a good look at Adobe AIR:

This technology opens huge doors of possibility for this sort of thing!
