Okie you mentioned I shouldn't do the pop up window is there any other solutions u can think of? I'm part of a euchre league off of a site t hat doesn't read javascript so usually in order to put your pages up you link everything from an iframe so you can have javascrpting. Now I've seen this done before on sites similiar to mine but of course no one wants to share their secrets of the trade lol. But I went to A+ Templates which is a free flash intro maker. Made me a short little flash intro movie and when the movie is done it automatically redirects to your site. Since its off another site I can't change the fact that the movie redirects. Now then heres whats happening if I put a redirect code on my main page to go to the movie when the movie ends it goes back to main page and there we go the continous loop. What do I need to do here? Maybe but redirect code in main page and then recreate my site on a diff page that wont cause the continuous loop? And if thats the case can you tell me what a redirect code is please? This prolly sounds confusing and I'm confused too lol. Ahhhh

Yes, that sounds confusing... :p

Anyway, I didn't mean that you shouldn't use a popup. What I meant was that you should not auto close the window after a certain length of time. (due to the fact that you have no way of knowing how long your flash intro will take to download)

Ok, just re-read you post.

I think that it would be best to have your index page redirect to your intro, and then have your intro redirect to a page like home.htm or something. Make sense?

Oh, and BTW, no need to start new threads. Just post in this one and I'll find it. ;)

okayyyyyy so for the blonde your saying the best idea probably would be for my main page to redirect to the movie which redirects to another page which should look like my main page. ha do i got it right? okie next problem in my sequence...can you please tell me a redirect code i can use?

Thanks!

Yep, you got it right.

Here's the refresh code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=yourpage.htm">

Also, it's a good idea to provide a manual link for those with meta refreshes disabled.
