Flash intro

[Brian Larson]

I am using FP 2003 with a theme and shared borders. I have created a flash
intro I would like to use for the site. I have two questions. 1. How do I
create a new page for the flash that does include the theme and the shared
borders? 2. Once I've done this, do I then call this page "index" so it
becomes my homepage and rename what is now my index "home" page something
else, say "start" or something and then tell the flash program to load this
page when the movie is done or if you click on skip intro to then load the
normal site?

Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian,

Check the FP addin site for the Flash addin at

Thanks for replying, however I already have the Flasher addin from Jimco but
there is really no explaination of how it works. When I used it, because I'm
using a theme and shared borders, it created a page with these components, I
don't want that. I do have my flash page setup now though, the program I use
for the flash is Firestarter from Coffeecup software and this program
actually creates an html page when you save the swf file so i just imported
that, so I guess my main problem/question now is related to question 2 in my
earlier post. It's my understanding that the home page in Frontpage must be
called index.htm, so my flash page is now called that and I renamed what was
index to home.htm, and the swf file is set to go to home when the movie
finished or you click on Skip Intro. Now I think because I'm using shared
borders, all my navagation buttons are messed up because the root page is no
longer the home (index) page. In navagation view, should the flash page be a
part of that?
