    How would you redirect it to the forums tho? And how do you edit it so it has a bg like the site? Cause if you go to my site right now:

    http://visualmelodies.fuzionservers.com

    Look at that and youll see what I mean.

    You can do a redirect when it is finished with actionscript. It has something to do with "goTo"... i dunno the exact thing, but if you're using Flash, then you should probably know it. Otherwise, find a tutorial at tutorialized.com or something.

    Just put a timed redirect on the page

    Code:
    <html>
    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    function delayer(){
        window.location = "../javascriptredirect.php"
    }
    //-->
    </script>
    </head>
    <body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 5000)">
    
    
    </body>
    </html>
    
    I edited a tiny part for you, it was useless text.

    Hope that helped

    yes but the loading of the Flash intro takes longer for some people. so you cant use a hardcoded timer.

    i think it's actually goToUrl( ) ... i think that is the actionscript function.

    This would be teh best way unless you just want to make a continue button then just stick it under the intro and have that be the redirect button to your site. A skip button would work best if you choose a button function.

    No, John is right actually. The amount of time different people on different Internet connections would take to go through the loading and viewing is going to very a good amount. That javascript will always redirect after a set period of time, not necessarily any time near the end of viewing the flash file.
