splash screen on login screen
-
Hi, I'm trying to run a flash intrudction on the login screen. The flash should run for a few seconds then disappear and the login control should apprear. This should happen on the same page. Does anyone have an idea how to implement it, or maybe direct me to a good source of info about it? Thanks in advnace, Snir.

Sounds like you need to auto refresh your page. There are a couple ways to do it. You can use javascript. Or you can put in a meta tag. The meta tag looks like this: Where n is seconds before refresh and url is the url to refresh to. You can leave the url blank and it will just refresh the page. I am in process of writing an article about this. Hope that helps. Ben

Hi Ben, Thank you for the answer. I've figured it out: The flash file (FLA file) need to have a naviageToUrl command in its last row that's directed to your login page. When publishing the FLA file using a common a flash editor (for example adobe flash CS3 pro) it creates an html page that runs the flash file and when it ends it navigates it to the login page. That's it. So simple. So little documentation on the web about it. Hopefully a lot of preplexed folks would read this post. Snir.

Arggh - flash intros on web pages. Do you have any idea how this really annoys users? It's generally considered to be one of the worst things you can do on a site. Think about it - users want to get into a web site and start using it as quickly as possible. Metrics suggest that customers will navigate away of content isn't displayed in less than 5 seconds - losing you customers and making your competitors happy. Just because you can use Flash doesn't mean that you should.
