If there is a need for you to write a program that saves documents on CDs, it is possible without having to reprogram Nero or roxio.
I developed a CMS software once, that can auto backup its own database on cd and this is the logic i used.

1. download one of the free third party commandline cd burning tools (most of them do not require installation and work fine with XP).

2. Instruct your program to save the files in a folder on the system (prefarbly temporary folder).

3. Lauch the third party executable with command line parameters telling it where the folder is and whether it should run in hidden mode.

4. Launch a listener to know whenburning is complete (simple way to do this is to determine when the cd drive is open since it will eject wen burning is complete).

5. delete your temporary folder.

That's all but u must tell the end user to make sure an empty CD is in the drive before this process is iniciated.

Actionscript is the scripting language of Adobe Flash. I combine it with wrappers to get local file access and it is very fast and friendly compared to some other languages.

look at this from http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=30164

ActionScript is the scripting language Flash uses to control its movies and the objects within those movies. If you want to do anything interactive in Flash, you'll need to use ActionScript. It allows you to execute different actions in a movie depending on what a user does or on what frame of the movie is being played.

ActionScript looks a lot like JavaScript, which Macromedia (the folks who wrote Flash) did on purpose. A specification called ECMA-262 was written to provide an international standard for the JavaScript language. ActionScript in Flash MX is based on the ECMA-262 specification, so if you've used Java-Script before, a lot of ActionScript will look familiar to you. If you haven't used JavaScript before, don't worry—you'll get it. Throughout this book, I'll be referring to actions. This is a general term, and an action roughly means "a chunk of ActionScript code that does something."

The biggest leap in the abilities of ActionScript occurred when Flash 5 was released. Flash 6 is the next version, and while the additions to ActionScript aren't as grand in this version, they do round out ActionScript into a full-fledged scripting language. Check out Chapter 2 to find out precisely what's new in Flash MX.


Note: Flash 9 is the latest.

i use AS3 but i dont use it for big projects yet. i'm still far better on AS2.

I was on a G.P/Profile Software for Wolex Poly onetime like that. the software computes G.P for students of a department. It was kind of large but the project was abandoned cos of cost issues.
if that is what u want, i can help you (although i dont have my source codes anymore). mail me at (lekeojikutu@yahoo.com)

i use Adobe flash and/or SwishMax 2008 .
i aint used AIR b4 but zinc wrapper works fine on win, mac and linux os. I'll try AIR. do u think its as cool as they say it is?

I programmed a crack 4 easybrowsing sometime ago. mail me lekeojikutu@yahoo.com

U can do it wit flash/actionscript but i think it would be better to stick to a language u already know and ask questions where u get stuck. That way, u'll get better in ur own language.
If u r using actionscript or u wanna use actionscript, u can mail me if u got any probs (lekeojikutu@yahoo.com).

wanna see my softwares? mail me & i'll tell u stores where u can get d commercial ones.

I code actionscript vb.NET, php, javascript and some smaller languages.

Good to see u guys are attempting sumtin even though its pretty small.
Wont it be worthwhile to attempt something more challenging? i see no challenge in doin sumtin as basic as a contact app or whatever u call it that can be done from scratch in 10mins or less using a RAD tool wit mysql or sqlite.
Why not take on sumtin like "Encyclopedia of Nigeria"? It may look big 2 sum people but its going to stretch your skills. remember, he who aims at the sky shoots higher than he who aims at the top of trees.

Anyway, i'm new in this forum and so far in naija, i've developed d fflw apps

I code actionscript in flash/swishmax and enhance it wit appriopriate wrappers. i do vb, php and sum java but i love actionscript.

Hi all!
i just joined now n i think i quite understand what this guy needs.
i have apps that run from CD (No installation required) and use relational database.
The best way of doin this is to use flash/actionscript + wrapper + SQLite. Its guaranteed because i've done it several times.

SQLite needs no server at all, its light, scalable and it runs from anywhere (CD, Flash drive, web, name it) and flash is a standalone projector even when used with wrappers.
Mail me 4 more info (lekeojikutu@yahoo.com). i could help u wit your project if i need to.
