I would like to have my intro animation transition to my html.index

[whatshandle]

I have an intro animiation that makes my homepage "appear" (zoom in buttons, fade in logo banner). When the movie clip is finished, I would like it to open the home page that is identical to the end of the clip with out the user really noticing. Is this possible?
The obstacles I encounter are:
1. I don't know the actionscript that makes the swf file appear in a "regular" browers (meaning with the toolbars and buttons)
2. I don't know how to open an html file from within the swf file (_self)

Thanks

1- That's usually... (in a "regular" browser window!), how a swf is embedded. Unless you've opened a new popup, without the regular attributes, to play your intro movie...
So no problem there!

2- You would open your index page (or your old index page, if your intro has now become it, with the getURL action on the last frame of your intro:

getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/path/youroldindex.htlm",[/URL] "_self");
