yet another newbie question

I rarely use flash, so every time I do, I have to relearn it. :b
I have done an opening animation that's set up to have a button that links to
the next page.
If you look, you can see that the animation just flashes on the screen and
then switches to the next page.
Can someone tell me how to fix this??
thx!

How to fix it will depend on what you did to get what you have now. Is
the new screen that comes up a new html doc? If that's the case, then
did you call it from a getURL function in the Flash file or some other
method?

What is in the Flash file that you want to show, and what do you want to
have happen when it plays?

Yes, the new page is html. No getURL. The only thing I put in the flash file is
a button that links to that file (the swf is on an html page, though, with no
extra coding).

The flash file has images fade in, with the "enter" button fading in last so
people can click to go to the next page.

I'm afraid to ask, do you want to see the .fla/.swf? (I know the .fla isn't as
beautiful as it should be.

Thanks!

I think your movie time is to short. Just adjust the movie timeline to two more minutes.

If you play your flash movie using test movie, does it play as you want?
Is this enter button what the user should use to get to the new html
document?

Yes, it would help to see the .fla file.
