Is there a method built into Dreamweaver for transferring site files to a CD? I have developed a CBT using Dreamweaver and Coursebuilder and need to place the site onto CD for distribution. I have tried just copying files onto the CD and placing them in the same folders, but some of the flash files that have links built in will not link properly. Some of the other pages also will not open. It has nothing to do with file size. Everything will open fine on some computers but not others.
 
What kind of links don't work?

Did you use relative links? Using "../aboutus/index.htm" will likely cause fewer problems that using "/aboutus/index.htm"
 
Did you copy ALL your pages onto the CD and did you keep them within the root folder that you have on your hard drive? Maybe some of your files got a little corrupted during the burning process? - all just suggestions, I'm afraid.
 
the easiest way to do this at least for me is i just copy they whole rot folder to a cd and put a flash exe file in the main directory that my autrorun calls.

I don't know if this will work for you, but I keep all folders and files on my harddrive, exactly how they are on the server, with exception of the htaccess and other choice files.
All the links and images are done without the domain name.
That way, if I have to move to a new server, everything will work with the IP numbers. Or, I would imagine they would work with the cd, by itself. Never tried that. LOL
Just a thought, Have fun.
