linking two different CDs

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 15.2004

I am currently developing a CD-based website. However, the site has become so large (due, in large part, to digital video) that I need to put it onto two CDs. Perhaps this is really easy to do, but my mind is drawing a blank. How would I go about making links look for the second CD versus the one in the drive? I am using the Macromedia suite for development. Thanks tons!

@gohankid77Jul 15.2004 — To do this, you would have to know how to program and create an application that alerts the user to insert the other CD. Sorry. There is no easy solution. Targeting files on one cd is easy enough. For two CDs, the user would have to be notified when to change CDs and then when the CD was inserted, the site would continue. Programming....
