Can't Publish Flash Program

[slewis818]

I'm trying to burn my flash program on to a CD to share with someone. I was asked to publish the .swf file and make it a Mac Projector. I set the settings to do both, set the location to be on my desktop (to test) and then hit publish. I run the Mac Projector file and it runs great. I then transfer it to the CD or any other folder and it opens, plays the music, but doesn't run the intro video.

I have all my videos linked externally to a folder on my desktop. However, I was under the impression that once I published it as a Mac Projector everything would be getting compressed together. I tried to put the video folder on the CD as well and it still won't run the videos.

Any help on how I can get this program published would be great.

Thanks!!

Anything that is dynamically loaded by the file still gets dynamically loaded when you  create the projector version.  So you still need to provide the videos.  You might just have a pathing issue for the folder where you keep the videos since you say you have them on the desktop for the computer version.

So I'd have to include the video files and thus change the load paths on every file to be changed to pull the videos from the CD? Is there any way to compress all of this? All my videos are .flv but are over 680 mb alone. I need to compress that.

The way to compress videos is to encode them at lower bitrate. But they will loose quality.
