Dear users
I have made a hybrid CD with a powerpoint
presentation. I am using powerpoint viewer 98 to show
the presentation.
I can autorun the PC powerpoint viewer by creating an
AUTORUN.INF file.
I am having problems auto starting the CDROM
presentation using the Mac.
Using TOAST platinum 5 I can create an autostart
function for the CD to start the powerpoint viewer.
this will open the viewer but does not automatically
run the presentation.
I have written an applescript to start the viewer and
select the presentation but then the SHOW command is
highlighted and I need to press 'Return'.
my applescript is as follows:
tell application "Finder"
select file "ppviewer98" of folder "mac"
open selection
select file "myshow.ppt" of folder "mac"
end tell
Questions
1) what do I have to do to start the show
automatically without me hitting 'Return'
2) If I place the applescript file as the autostart
file of my cd will that run the applescript
I would appreciate any suggestions.
