where shoud the intro page be located?

[crn792]

Hello,

I am learning flash, and I have created an intro for my web page, but as a newbie I do not know where should the intro file be located.
Let me explain, I have seen that some web pages embed the intro into the index.html file, and then they'll take you to the other contents of the page.
On the other hand, there are some web pages that just load the intro page(it only appears the domain:

http://www.mysite.net

without any html extension(I am guessing if it is hidden!), so after the intro has been loaded and displayed the page redirect you to the index html file.

My questions are:
what is the better way to do this?
where should my intro be located either the index.html or outside of it ? if so, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance,
regards.

for websites you always embed the flash movie into an html page, whether you call it index.html home.html main.html.

the reason why you dont see the filename when you go to the domain is that the webserver is set up to automatically show index.html when you request that domain.

type into your browser

http://www.mysite.net

and then

http://www.mysite.net/index.html

most times you'll get the same page (of course the server admin can change this to whatever name he wants but its index.html by convention).
