Auto-run flash galleries on burned CDs'

[Curtis Cunningham]

What is the best way to take a Flash generated web gallery that you burn to a CD and have it auto-run when users place the CD in their computer?

I've done it with HTML galleries using two files that I place in the CD's root directory:

• an .exe file (shellexe.exe)
• a two-line autorun.inf file

1. [autorun]
2. open=ShellExe.exe index.htm

(where index.htm is the address of the home page of the website and shellexe.exe launches documents from autorun files)
​

I'd like to try and do this sort of thing with Flash-generated galleries out of Lightroom.

I've not exported a flash gallery yet in lightroom, what does it look like ? ie what files get generated, does it require a browser to run in or is it a standalone executable.... It should be possible to run it in the same manner as you suggest above, you just need to find the initial file to open (eg index.htm).

I haven't done it yet. My question was based only on an assumption that the generated files do NOT include an index.htm file.

My next step will be to try it out and then report back.

Thanks for asking the question I should have asked (and tried) myself.
