webpage automatically after 6 seconds...but I want this time to start after

Your best bet really is the action script because that's the only real way
you'll know when the movie is finished. You can use the http-refresh meta
tag, but if the user had to wait to download the movie because they have a
slow connection you'll force them to advance before the movie is finished.

the meta refreh goes in the <head> section of the document and is in the
format:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="N;URL">

where n is the time to wait in seconds and URL is the URL to refresh to.

Hope this helps,
