Trying to add a intro to our site!

[jjgrant]

I am using frontpage2000 and need to know how to enter my swish intro that I just created and spent the $30.00 to purchase swish. How do I get it to play the intro when you type the url and then default to our homepage.

This is the HTML for it..
<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>
never tried it in frontpage 2000, but you need to change the dimensions to match what your movies are, and the file name and all that.

I hope I understood your question correctly.

First, you need to change the name of your present index.htm to something like home.htm. Second, place the intro swf in the index.htm of your site. Third, place a GoTo Url at the end of your intro movie to go to http://www.eng-prod-inc.com/home.htm.

Ok, I got the first one, changing the index to home.htm
Second one is:
Do I save my swish to ep.swi in the web, or do I
save a new page named index.htm and then copy html into it?
Third, I got the goto url. Thanks and much appreciated for the newbie to web design.

if your trying to put a .swi file on the web, I don't think thats going to work bud..you need to export it to a .swf file with SWiSW and post that, by the way I think all severs work where the delfualt page it goes to when you type in the main address is index.htm or index.html

In Swish, export your movie to swf and copy html code. HTML Code is available under Export/ Copy HTML to clipboard. Paste code onto your index.htm page and upload index.htm and swf intro to your server.

If done correctly all the user has to do is type http://www.eng-prod-inc.com and the intro will play. Once the movie is completed the user will be redirected to your site.
NOTE: A 'SKIP INTRO' would be nice.
