Hi,
New to forum and wondered if anyone can help !
I'm in process of developing an application in either director or flash, and wondered if I can copy this application to a USB memory stick to run automatically when USB stick inserted into Laptop/PC
I have read that you need to create a portable app, and wondered if anyone had done this with a flash application or one written in Director.
Any help would be appreciated.

Full Version: Portable Application
Welcome to Piriform Joolz.
You can make any application run of a USB stick providing you have the necessary support files on the users machine. I make VB programs (read my sig) and these will run on any Win2k/Xp/Vista system quite easily. If you making a Flash movie then you would need a flash player on the user machine. These ocx's are normally in Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder. Now Flash movies are very forgiving. I've made an app that used Flash.ocx but when I tried it on a machine with Flash9d.ocx it still worked perfectly.
