Or, if the actual site is an HTML page, you could put a "getURL" command on
the last frame of the intro movie with the URL address of the landing page.

thanks for the replies....

as of the time being, i have the intro seperate from the actual site. (two seperate .swf files) any way someone would be willing to walk me through joining them on the same timeline and getting the intro button to work this way? you can see the intro at w
ww.luscioustreats.com

i was hoping to have them be seperate (ie have the intro .swf link to the actual site's .swf) but at this point i am so frustrated i am game for anything. i just want the darn thing to work!!!

thanks again in advance...

That *of* should be an *or*

Sorry for the typo...

========================
gotoAndPlay(firstFrameOfContent):

or

_level1.gotoAndPlay(2);

On the 'skip intro' button, place this code:

// this is for main content on same timeline -
on(release){
gotoAndPlay(firstFrameOfContent); // use a frame number or a label in
quotes
}

// this would used if your main content swf is loaded into another layer, in
this example layer 1:
on(release){
_level1.gotoAndPlay(2); // the 2 assumes that the movie is loaded and
parked on frame one which is blank
}

At the end of the intro movie, to get it to go right to the main content,
place this in a frame:

gotoAndPlay(firstFrameOfContent):

of

_level1.gotoAndPlay(2);

Does that help any?

ok so if i have my introduction followed by my main content page on the same timeline, just on different layers, how would i go about stopping the intro (which is looping) and get it to play the main content page?
