I've looked into mProjector and it doesn't seem to support a
crossplatform database... of am I wrong?

What do you mean by support a cross platform database?

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Making a cd for Pc and Mac
I mean reading and writing to a database that runs (running is maybe not
the right word) on Mac and Pc. Like V12 in Director or Access by
Zinc(only Pc, not Mac).

Well, mProjector is able to communicate to COM objects on PC and I'm
pretty sure there's a Mac equivalent. But, it would probably take some
work to figure out how to make it work well. Director w/V12 might be
your only choice unless you want to code your own DB, so to speak.
What you might be
Did you know that INM is making a V12 database for Flash...
It's a Director movie that lunches your Flash App and from Flash you can
talk to the V12 database via Director...

Yes, maybe Flash isn't the best choice, but I don't see me making
interactive/flashy applications in java. The contents of the
cd/application can also be viewed online, but that's a rather static
environment (not to be distributed with a book). Flash is nice because a
Grafical Designer can do the
I've made tons of dual boot CD's using Flash/Director ( which now has the
Xtra for flash 8 ), and I found it's the best tool out there for extending
flash.
of course that would depend on your personal preference.. you can extend
flash with wxPython, C#, visual basic, there is a long list... Then
I highly recommend mProjector. It's the best 3rd party wrapper out
there, IMO, and I've tried them all. It's the easiest and smartest to
code with, it has the best performance hands down, does asynchronous
communication with the OS, allows you to package all your swfs into the

I have written a few basic shells with python and wxpython it is pretty
easy to run off a cd either with a batch file or using py2exe. Wxpython
actually has a sample in the demo code to get you started, wxpython runs
on a mac though it is not as developed as other platforms, I haven't had
to make
Hi Gabe,
to make one run on a mac so not entirely sure of what all the issues are
but it is a very plausible direction since there are many platform
independent libraries for python.
it's been a while since I haven't touched this but AFAIK wxPython used
the activex object to embed the swf,

mProjector is nice, but it doesn't offer any direct database support
on either platform, if that is important to the project.
Lieven, you haven't really indicated why Flash itself is key to the
project. What
Look into Arca (http://xtras.tabuleiro.com/products/arca/index.tdb) or
