Hi
This is my problem.
Im creating a multimedia presentation including flash, htm, pdfs etc. The
content will be stored in a USB Memory Stick and given away to future
customers. The idea is that every time the user plug their USB Memory Stick
into the computer, their browser will start automatically and the introduction
page will be shown. This page to be more specific
http://www.asmfoods.com/introsv/introsv.htm.

Is this possible? Can i do it with Flash or other Macromedia program?
Can a script trigger the browser as soon the USB Memory Stick is pluged into
the computer?

Please guide me in the right direction.
Thanks
Leo

This could be done with an 'autorun' feature. Nothing to do with Flash.

Have a search around on the net for something like 'setting up autorun'.

I don't know how to do it from scratch. My USB Card (Freecom) comes
preinstalled with software to allow you to do this, but it's not for
distribution.
