I agree, auto play on Mac/OSX does not exist, this is a security based decision by Apple
Pre OSX used Quicktime's auto play option to enable CDs to auto play, (by default turned on, but can be turned off) One other auto play occurrence on OSX is through Safari in the auto (play) run after download of files Stan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Hulse Sent: Monday, 20 March 2006 11:36 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash MX2004,Video CD with "auto-play" {Director v.

You know, I mentioned the above problematic possibility (no auto-play on OSX) to the person who hired me, and they are positive that auto-play is available on a Mac/OSX... But they are planning on setting-up auto-play outside of any Lingo or Actionscript. Are you guys talking about auto-play scripted via Flash/Director, or the more traditional autoplay implementation? Thanks for help. :) CHeers, Micky _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
