hey guys...

How can i give a user access to his/her own system to download (copy from a
local location: - ie: CD),  to their choosen location.? Esentially I want to
make a flash front end to access files held on a CD.
The download function of the file reference class requires a url string
which after trying various combinations of 'http://127.0.0.1 ,
http://localhost ', they all fail unless the url sting refers to an online
server...
I would be encouraged for idea's on how to provide this capability to 'local
users' and not using the getURL("relative path to file"); which in the case
of some of the files (mp3's), causes a browser window to open....

thanks!

for both mac and win'...
your prog' fails due to it [so far] only supports windows installs and
users...

you an create your projector using mProjector - it adds a class into
Flash called mFile which includes functions like copyFile

there is a sample app/swf/fla here

Russell, did find a good solution?  I am trying accomplish the same thing
(cross platform cd-rom with flash intro and buttons that open a dialog box to
save files off the cd).  The two software programs I have found so far that
claim to be able to do this with Flash are Sceentime and Zinc.

I think you mean mProjector which is published by Screentime, and
indeed it will what you want
if you know the path to you source file you can just call the
chooseFile method to get a destination path and the mFile.copFile to
copy it over

here is the chooseFile method
http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/mSys_chooseFile.htm

set the saveFile flag to true to make it a save dialog - the return
value of this function is you destination path

then call

http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/mFile_copyFile.htm

copy file to move it over.

There are also functions to determine where the source file are
relative the application
