Here's a great tute where I first learned to do this:

Remember to Export as Projector (.exe) -- the same way you would an .swf file, but you may have to enable this option.

Ooooo.. thank you. I'll give it a try.

you have to save the flash swf as a .exe (for pc). last time i did it you had to do it from the flash player menu.

also, you have to do a version for pc on a pc and a mac version on a mac - they might have changed things in mx though.

then chuck it on a cd and copy an autorun.inf file from any front cover cd you have and rename the paths. there's a different file for macs mind.

If you're doing a crossplatform CD you have to burn it on a mac to get mac autostart to work. As long as your PC filenames are 8.3 there shouldn't be any problems with burning.

If the CD project contains bitmaps or video (like one of my flash cd projects did) make sure you actually test it on a machine you decided to be the minimum requirement. Nothing kills interest like a screen loading for 10 seconds.
