hey guys! good day! I would just like to ask how can I put a flash intro on my blog. I already made and uploaded my flash intro (link: http://www.swfup.com.../swf-120485.swf) and I want to be seen before my blog loads (just like other sites wherein there's a nice flash intro then the user would be redirected to the main page)..

I am hosting my blog in Blogger and I have no idea how to put my flash intro.. I want my blog to be like this:
1. I enter my blog's url at the browser
2. Then, the flash intro appears,
3. Then when i clike the "Enter" button in my flash intro, i would be redirected to the main page of my blog...

please help me.. thanks a lot!

i don't know how blogger works, are you given just one url or actual web space?

i'm pretty sure your just given a url. in which case you can't do what your asking.

when you have an intro page like that its actually an extra page hosted on a webserver. and a click or a timed forward passes you to the next page.

there is no way to interrupt the user when they type in your blog's url to do anything else.

the only thing i can think is if you did something like some of the flash advertisments nowadays that cover a large portion of the screen but thats heavy javascript i doubt blogger will let you throw down.

Yeah- what Capty99 said.

Actually the workaround for that would be to get a domain name and load up the flash intro to that site, click a enter site link and point it to the blogger site.

Hope this helps!

Not possible on webhosts like geocities,google pages or blogger.
The webhost must support .swf files.

You can use Dotster, or dreamhost or 1&1 and buy a .com or .net incorporate flash and forward it to the appropriate blogger domain.

I use dreamhost and have done similiar things in the past.

It has to be some trick. Not a good option for commercial website.

I agree, not the best option - but unless they decide to use a service like wordpress or typepad and get a TLD then what they are trying to accomplish is more work than it is worth.
