Hi All

Just a quick flash question. I've been asked by a client to create a CD-Rom version of a recent project that was documented on her website - see here.

The online documentation makes use of Quicktime to play videos as well as Flash/Javascript to play audio using a small MP3 player. I've tried using this same MP3 player locally and it causes issues so I looked for a simple alternative and am now using this:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="7sails_players/player_mp3.swf" width="200" height="20">
    <param name="movie" value="7sails_players/player_mp3.swf" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=Sail_01/martingreen.mp3&amp;showstop=1&amp;bgcolor1=cccccc&amp;bgcolor2=cccccc&amp;loadingcolor=808000&amp;buttoncolor=808000&amp;buttonovercolor=000000&amp;slidercolor1=808000&amp;slidercolor2=808000&amp;sliderovercolor=e808000&amp;textcolor=000000" />
</object>

Is it OK to use FlashVars on a site that will run locally on a mac or pc from a CD-rom? Seems to run fine in my local html test file.

Silly question probably, but I'm just paranoid as there are going to be 100 cd's printed.

Thanks

Only way to know is to test it. Burn a cd.

yeah I realised that after posting! not building the project until next week so will give it a go then, just need to provide visuals for the client today so needed to include the mp3 player within those.

Will the CD Rom load a HTML file to load the flash or can it be launched from the SWF?

An alternative would be to have a data file (XML) on the CD which the flash movie loads up in order to get the vars. But of course the relevancy of that depends on what your vars are achieving.
