Auto start?

Post by peter.s » Thu Sep 25, 2008 4:02 pm

I want my project to run off a disc - so I want it to automatically start upon disc insertion. I understand that OSX does not support an auto start feature, but PCs do...

Can someone shed some light on this subject? What do I need to do to have my project auto start on a PC (and a Mac if possible)?

Cheers,

Peter

Thanks guys for this information.

I am a little embarrassed now - I could have Googled it myself! But I thought it was something that needed to be done through Rev.

No problem. It's not really a dumb question at all: you wouldn't know that it wasn't something done inside of Rev if you hadn't asked.

If you want to see what really dumb questions look like, look up my earliest posts to the Revolution mailing list. :)
