Website on disc - swf files wont work

[Jo]

I would like to burn a copy of my website to disc and send it to a potential
client. (I don't want the website to be live on the web until it has been
approved). So far, the only way I can get the swf files to work, is if they
are linked to a file on the web. But that means the user has to be connected
to the web for the flash files to work.

Question. Can I get swf files to work in publisher websites by linking to a
file on the disc? I've tried using the files extensions...but they don't
seem to work.

I'm using publisher 2007.

Hi Jo,

Just a guess as I have never used swf files, but have you tried to copy the
file/folder that it is linked to, to your CD, and write a relative link to
it? Of course you would have to change the link again before you posted the
site, but...

Jo,

Rather than sending a CD, why not upload the site but to a nonsensical
directory, such as www.yourdomain.com/flesruoy/ (yourself spelled
backward) and give the client the address. I do this all the time.
