just insert the .swf file to your index file. you can do this in DW or publish
.html file from flash which has the object code ready for you. if you publish
it from flash just rename that file as index.* (* = what ever your default type
is.. propably .htm or html..)

There's no HTML on your home page? So your site won't be indexed by the
search engines?

The way you do that, as Ville suggests, is to create an index.htm file
and insert your Flash movie into that page. If you want search engines
to be able to index your site, make sure that your "Skip Intro" link is
in the HTML and not in the Flash movie.

I recommend having a non-flash page as well for those who do not have
FlashPlayer loaded. You can place code to check for the player and then
redirect if it's not present. Never forget that not all users have all the
bells and whistles.
