intro + index.htm

[vdirk]

Hello,

I'm a newbie so excuse me for my stupid question.

I've made site with an intro. Everything runs fine , the intro plays and stop when you open the homepage. The problem is, when you go to another page at the site and you return to the homepage, the intro plays again.

Please help me out with this

hi,

try this:

let's say the movie ends at frame 100 in a scene. rightclick into frame 0 of your first (or only) scene and place this action: "if frame 100 of _last_scene_ is loaded, go to frame 100 of _last_scene_"

(instead of _last_scene_ you can use the scenes name as well, or _this_scene_, if you only have one scene.

what happens is that the movie will play once for the visitor, and the next time he visits the page, it's in his browser cache, so it'll skip to frame 100.

I'm a dumbass. I 've tried the things you said but nothing changed. Do you have more suggestions ?

thx for the quick reaction.

Hm, that's strange. It should be working the way Lys has it set up.
If you want, we can take a look at the SWI for you though.

Create a new Movie from your existing one that starts where the intro leaves off and let the user decide weather they want to goto the introduction or directly to the mainpage.

Example: www.wheelworkbychris.com

thx, nice site by the way. Did you made the site in flash or are you just using javascripts ?

Maybe I've found the solution for my problem. What if I rename the intro page to index.html and just put at the end of the intro a link to home.htm, which is the actual homepage where every page directs to ?

Are the search bots going to find my site if I work it out that way ? And where do I have to place the keywords etc. so google, altavista,... will find my site ?

Probably made in Swish.
