Im doing a project and I want the CD to launch the flash movie when the CD is inserted. Is there an Apple Script that can do this?

This is a 'User' end control in the QuickTime control panel. But as this was the method for the spread of a Virus in OS9 a few years back it defaults to off.
On the Mac there is no longer a 100% way of auto launching an app without some sort of user interaction.

The same way as there is no 'simple' way to do 'Full screen' on the Mac OS, unlike on the PC where a simple javascipt can put a Browser window at full screen with no other window controls
