i figured someone with a bit more html experience than me might know this....

i have a flash intro... maybe 4 seconds long that i want before a html page. how do i get the flash thing to play then fade or whatever into the page?

I have a massive flash book around here somewhere... let me find it and I'll get back to you if it has the info.

Is your site almost finished?

Looks like this will work:

1) go to the last frame (Frame x)
2) put the mouse over the frame key itself and with a right mouse click ...choose Action and enter the two lines of code
the first line is to stop the Movie and the second line is to get the domain name ou want
don't forget to change domain.com with your URL :)

stop();
getURL("http://www.domain.com", "_self");


I snagged this from another site I found with google.

Hrm, I guess this method doesn't allow for transition effects though, unless you fade to black before the last frame and then fade in the HTML page from black or something of that nature.

why not use meta redirect ?

i think he's talking about just having a countdown on one page, then redirecting you to another. that would work, and hang on i'll look for an example....

**edit:

here's a javascript solution i found on filefront.com:
<script>
var counter = 20;
function countdown() {
if (counter > 0)
{
counter--;
document.getElementById('counter_text').innerHTML = counter;
document.getElementById('counter_text2').innerHTML = counter;
setTimeout("countdown()",1000);
}
}
</script>

The Encyclopedia Astronautica home page is at <a href="http://www.astronautix.com">http://www.astronautix.com</a>

there you go. make your first page with this code on it also have your flash, then in place of astronautix.com, have that be your main site you want to go to.

why dont you just have a dynamic html layer with the flash movie, and then when the flash movie ends, it collapses the layer and reveals the layout which has loaded while watching the movie? sounds simple to me.
