Hi Alan, Shockwave is a sandboxed environment. You cannot obtain information about a user's system from within a web-browser. In particular, you cannot see what local files are available, except those inside the "dswmedia" folder alongside the Shockwave installation. If you need to run movies from a CD-ROM, then you must use a projector. From a projector, you can use the free FileXtra4 to list volumes and tell you which of those volumes are CD-ROMs. <http://kblab.net/xtras/FileXtra4/> Can you to provide the projector on the CD-ROM itself? This might be the simplest solution.
