Hi all,

I need help with this problem. I made a Flash Projector File that plays my client's portfolio on a cd. Flash makes a Mac native and a PC .exe file. I need to put both of these files on a cd for him to distribute.

I want to keep the Mac icons. i made a special icon for the user to double click on. So i want icons and etc. to show up on amac computer.

On a PC, everything looks nasty. I get generic file icons for the mac files.

So my question is...if i burn a hybrid cd using toast, how will the mac icons show up as well as the pc icons at the same time? can i burn a hybrid using toast or toast titanium? is there anything else i should know?

I did something very similar last year (new year's greeting cards on business card sized CDs). I didn't have custom icons for the PC side of things tho. The mac icon was easy, but I imagine you'd have to use some .ico files for the PC side. Never tried that myself.

On the flash side of things, I had a Mac app and a PC exe linked with some external support files (mp3s in swf files actually). I couldn't get the mac version to run automatically, but the PC side of things went along fine with an autorun.inf file.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>
[autorun]
open=ClickHere.exe
icon=click.ico
</font>[/code]

I grabbed the icon part from another thread in here, so I'm not sure if it works. The autorun open bit should work in most Windows versions.
