html, Mac, flash and cd rom.....

[Alb - web designer]

Hi all from a newbie,
I have made a website in plain html, I need to transfer it on a cd rom.
So I started to use Flash mx 2004 pro, made an intro, published it as a
projector, created the autorun.
In the intro I've linked a button to the Html once I put it into a local
drive, using getUrl.....
All seemed to work, but when I gave the Cd rom to a Mac user, he told me tha
he couldn't see anything.
Any idea?

Thanks in advance!
Alb

p.s. I can modify the whole project if you tell me it will work in both
platforms

Are you saying that you are moving all the files over to the users local
drive? How are you doing this? Most third party methods of doing this
that I have seen are PC only. You may want to verify that the files are
actually getting copied over if this is the case.

The projector is a PC executable file. It can't run on the Macintosh. On
the other hand, you can produce in the Flash compiler on your PC a
Macintosh executable, in a binhex container (*.hqx). This container must
be unpacked to a Macintosh or hybrid CD-ROM to be executable when
mounted on a Mac.
