Paul,

The 'traditional' Mac way of doing this is to make the user drag the
files into their Application folder for a simple, self-contained app.

(Assuming you're using a projector) ideally, your additional four .swf
files should be bundled inside your .app folder i.e. all your user
sees when he opens the disk is the MyProjector.app (put them inside
MyProjector.app/Content/Resources). If you can't do this, create a
folder to contain all your app files, call it MyProjector, and replace
my references to the .app file in the following text...

Then the standard way to do things is:
- Put MyProjector.app at the root of the CD-ROM
- Put a _shortcut_ link to your Applications folder at the root of the
CD-ROM (this'll work no matter whose machine the disk opens on)
- Put a custom background on the CD-ROM folder with instructions like
'drag *this* (arrow to MyProjector.app) to *this* (arrow to
Applications link) to install'. And position the icons appropriately.

Hope that's helpful.

Ian
