Does anyone know how to burn a Flash-made presentation on a CD, so that it loads automatically on insertion?

So if I made a presentation on CD, how can I make it load automatically when someone puts the CD in the drive...

the way I do it is to create the flash animation first, then export it as an .exe, which is the only file format the autorun file will easily do (I think other file formats require a bit more coding). Then at the end of the flash file, I have it auto load a web page built onto the CD with my portfolio (programming that is usually the easy part). I don't have a reference on hand, but if you pop in any auto loading CD, u can pull the autorun.inf file from the CD to see how it works. It's usually only a couple lines long, very easy to see. However, some programs that have the full blown installer built in is a bit more complicated, but this shouldn't be too bad.
