Hi,

I've created a flash splash screen. I've uploaded the index.html and the .swf but when I load my site it still loads the index.php. Isn't it supposed to load the .html by default.

Any ideas......... Ped?

To view the flash intro

www.gamersunitednetwork.org/index.html

Thanks

Open your .htaccess and find or add close to top

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

It might already exist, so check for that first. The order of the files is the order the server looks. So if index.php is first, it auto loads that.

Ok, that worked, thanks. The only problem now is it plays the swf, get to the end and then replays rather than going to my site automatically. When building the swf I added the script:
getURL (mysite)
stop

This works when I play the swf as an individual file but doesn't in php.

Any ideas?

Have a look at the site and yu will see what I mean.

Thx again

You have to build the swf for mysite.com/index.php. If that index.html exist it is going to load it over and over.

Be warned, a splash screen is almost the worst thing you can do for a web page when thinking about search engines. They are non-human and can't click "skip_intro" to index the rest of your pages.

There are a few tricks around it. Use css to hide a link in the html page. Here is an example.

Add to your theme stylesheet

Code:

.mylink a{display:none;}

Add to index.html

Code:

<a href="mysite.com/index.php" class="mylink">Skip Intro</a>

You can also use sitemaps, but that is whole other setup.

Sorry, a bit confused now, you know too much.

Don't mind about search engine issues, our site only works from word of mouth and server advertising anyway.

I'm confused as to what to do in order to get the intro working with the site.

I have a index.html, index.php and the swf file. What can I do to stop the looping?

In your previous message you said "You have to build the swf for mysite.com/index.php. If that index.html exist it is going to load it over and over"

How do I build the swf into the .php file?

Thx Floppy

Sorry for the confusion, You need to modify your .fla file so that getURL (<--I think is what it is called) points to www.http://www.gamersunitednetwork.org/index.php instead of just http://www.gamersunitednetwork.org/. If you don't specify in the .fla file then the server will continue to reload the index.html because of the .htaccess hack we just added.

Aha, of course, makes sense now. Appreciate it man.

p.s couple of things.

In your topic review window below, you can read the previous persons text in the first last message unless you highlight the text.

Also, if you use your search function in the forums for example 'splash screen' hit search, all the results appear. You can select one of the results, read it but when you try and go back it won't let you unless you press your back button twice.

I know you guys are still doing buts on the new site but just thought I'd point it out.
Thanks again mate, appreciate it

Hmm.. that hit twice to go back concerns me, but I have already asked ped to fix topic review when he has a chance.

All the same, I will check it out.
