Is the first page and has preloader.swf embedded in it.
Also include the following TAG in your index.html page:
<_____ http-equiv="REFRESH" content="10; url=need_f.html">
NOTE: Replace ____ with the word meta above.
If your browser stays on the 'index.html' page for more than 10sec, it will automatically move the user to the need_f.html page.
preloader.swf:
Checks to see if what version of FLASH is being used by the client.
FLASH 1, 2, 3: Will freeze on the index.html page until the meta tag will refresh the page and prompt the client to update. FLASH 4: When adding String objects in Flash 4 the syntax is different. Therefore (test = "4" + "4" = "8") which will freeze the user on this page(see below), and the meta tag will refresh the page and prompt the client to update. FLASH 5: When adding String objects in Flash 5, the syntax (test = "4" + "4" = "44") and this will pass the test and go to the FRAME Label "Passed" (see below). It will then get your main page's URL (currently index1.html).
Your main page should be called 'index1.html'
NOTE: If you decide to change it from 'index.html' change the page name in the frame Labeled "PASSED".
I am currently employeed as a web developer, a teacher and have my own little company which I am just building. I teach Java programming and have just started to use Flash.
