Using FLASH 8 Professional
Skill Level: Beginner

Can someone either assist me or point me to a source where I can learn how to make an intro or "splash" page that plays a 15 sec. video and kicks the vistor to another web page?

I have put up a test page at: http://209.43.16.3/test

All files I have on this site can be found at: http://209.43.16.3/test/test.zip

--------------
index.html plays a movie called "movie.swf" which I created by importing a .wmv file into flash and publishing it (HTML + .swf file).

I want index.html to auto-redirect to index1.html after the movie plays.

I have tried adding getURL(" http://209.43.16.3/test/index1.html") at frame 2 on the original movie.swf but that doesn't seem to work.

All input and pointer appreciated. Thanks,

Assuming you put a short 15sec video as you mentioned above on the first post using an FLV.
You use this code to put an FLV on your flash stage and as soon the video reaches it's end point OR the user aborts playing, you'll be redirected to any page you want

Thank you. I'll give that a try in the morning.

instead of using wmv files wrapped in a Flash window, why don't you just use the functionality of Flash 8 and use an FLV file.
http://www.gotoandlearn.com has a lot of basic tutorials on how to create a videoplayer and furter actions.

Thanks for the link but that doesn't accomplish what I'm trying to do with a brief splash and a kick to the next page. Thanks.
