how to play FLASH movie?

Hi,
What you should probably do is use and EXECUTE PROGRAM action that executes the Flash player, and then simply pass your Flash movie as a command line parameter. Try this out; I think that it should work.

how to play FLASH movie?

Just wondering, if I put a flash movie in my project, do I need to run the just the flash movie - with the player in the same directory for it to work?

Thanks

Why not just make the movie into a projector file insted (open your .swf in the standalone player, then in the menus pick create projector) That way your standalone player and .swf are now merged into a single .exe that you can just run it and be happy while you watch your .swf

Re: how to play FLASH movie?

I have some Flash projects that I would also incorporate into AutoPlay. This is what I have done....

On one project I have 13 .swf files with the loadMovie in Flash. All I did is have the very first .swf (like the index.html .swf) and save it as a .exe. Then I used the EXECUTE PROGRAM action which starts the Flash .exe and then loads the rest of the .swf when needed. I did it that way because of file size. I have a whole website on a CD with a little over 1 meg. Kinda like what Tronage said but I just wanted to say that it works just fine with the rest of the .swf files in the same dir. I Can't wait for version 4!!!
