Flash intro page

    Hi, All.

    As soon as my client has it made, he wants me to put a Flash intro page on his site. Just a quick animation of 5 or 6 seconds, then an auto redirect to the actual Home page.

    Anyone out there know how I’d do this?

    It seams to me it would mess up the links if I put the Flash intro on the actual Home page (static home page set, of course) with a custom template, as it would go to the Flash intro whenever someone clicked the “Home” tab.

    Could I create a page called “Flash” and set THAT as the static “home” page, and still have a page called “Home”, and maybe set that page called “Flash” to not show in the navigation menu? Seams like that would be a pain.

    Can I just upload a page to the root folder that would somehow get loaded first, then have it redirect to the WordPress index.php? WordPress is installed in the root, btw.

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure if this would work in wordpress but if you put a page in the root of your site and called that index.whatever this would be the first page loaded. the wordpress homepage can then be called home still?

    Not sure if that works in practice tho.

    you can set that in your .htaccess which one should load first.

    DirectoryIndex index.htm index.php

    then redirect that (index.htm) file to index.php after 5seconds.
    or probably create a banner with a flash intro that is integrated with the banner.
    like integrated on this site.

    Hi,

    I want to do the same. I already try changing the .htaccess without success.

    How did you did it?

    thanks
