Please help. Im sure its simple.
 
I tried to look at your Flash page, but I got a request for a user name and password.<br><br>Question: Did you also set the &quot;Window&quot; setting, telling Flash where you wanted to open the new URL(parent or blank browser window, etc.)? <p>Judland<br><a href=mailto:judlandwaste@netscape.net>judlandwaste@netscape.net</a><br><a href= Flash proving ground...</a><br> &lt;a href=" Intellivision&lt;/a&gt;

I am trying to add a flash intro to a frontpage website. I got the intro to work. It is on <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> username: concreteco password: b42188.&nbsp;&nbsp;The way I did it messed up my Frontpage website it added two home buttons on the page I changed to index1.htm and the table of contents doesn't work. I called the intro movie index.htm(that was the name of my home page in frontpage) because I thought I had to change it to get it to come up first on the web. Should I have left it named intro and left my frontpage website as it was and just uploaded the intro with a get url linking them.<br>&nbsp;<br>I tried that now and it left off all menu buttons.<br>&nbsp;<br>Your help will be apprec
 
Are you trying to create an intro page in frontpage? If so just start a new page in F.P. Then click Insert - Advanced - Plug in. Then from there inport your frontage movie. I hope my hints were of some help. Please let me know if you need any more help.
 
A few things... I'm guessing that background is the MS clouds background. I'm not sure you have license to use that for commercial purposes. And judging my MS's tendency to sue anything that moves in their &quot;jurisdiction&quot;, I'd change that background. Besides, it doesn't go with the rest of the drawn-by-hand scheme...<br><br>also, you already know that it's not going to work if you loop it. and the &quot;Enter&quot; and &quot;Site&quot; items look like seperate buttons- it's not intuitive that you need to click on the sun (which doesn't appear to be a button at all) in order to load the next page. Best of luck.. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>
