To link your main page once the Flash has finished, you should use the Enter Button Go To URL blank type-in area in Flash4D's Customization window. For Flash4D v4.4, simply type into the Page to Show After the Design blank where it says 'http://.'

Here's how to get there for the Extra Detailed Design Program. After starting the Extra Detailed Design Program and opening an intro pack, select an intro with the 'Select' button located on the side of the intro, this you might already know, then the Customization window should open. When the customization window opens (it should say Customize at the top), look for the next button at the bottom right of the window. Select the button and then wait a second, and select it again.

You should just have moved two "pages" in the Customization process. Now you should be looking at a page that has the Welcome Message blank type-in area near the top of the window. At about the middle of the window, you should see the Enter Button Go To URL blank type-in area. The type-in area should already have the text http://www. in it. You can delete the text and just type in "main.html" or you can type in the full location to the main.html page if wanted, e.g. http://www.YourWebsite.com/main.html -- then when done, build the intro with the Build button located at the bottom of the page, and you should have the skip intro and the Enter button in the Matrix template linked to your main webpage.

By the way, at the end of the Matrix intro, if you do not see any button still after doing this, then it could very well be set in the Customize window under the "Buttons: Enter" part of Customization that you may have selected "No enter button" grayish button.

A Flash intro can be placed onto a frontpage site. This can be as simple as moving or copying the Flash intro design folder with your created intro to your frontpage website folder. Then publish your website with Frontpage.

You can also copy the Flash intro files created with Flash4D ( www.introwizard.com/flash4d/ ) and add them to your website folder, then publish your website with Frontpage (File Menu > Publish)

If you're interested in purchasing Flash4D you may do so online for as little as $49 for Home Edition. You can even save a bit by starting your purchase from the trial.

To link the 'Skip Intro' to your URL in the Customization window, select the Enter Button area on the left, then click the 'Enter Button' buttons.

Then, click the 'Next' button and you will be see a screen where you have the 'Web Page After Design' item which is where you can enter in your url.

Summing it up in a sentence, all you need to do is upload the flashintrofolder on your desktop in Cute FTP to your website. Now explaining that further on your desktop you will have the intro files, the webpage and intro files have already been created and are in the folder on your desktop called 'flashintrofolder'. Since you use Cute FTP, it has a 'sent to website' button, also known as the upload arrow, so if you navigate one of the windows (the left if I am correct) that displays your computer files after logging in to your website (on the right window in Cute FTP you'll see your website files or folders) you should find your desktop folder known as flashintrofolder and upload (aka publish, send, put) the folder contents onto your website, and even the folder itself if you want to do that too. That really is it, after that you can access your intro on your website by typing in your website url and the location of the folder and files or just the files, depending on what you uploaded.

E.g. http://www.YourWebsiteName.com/flashintrofolder/
or
http://www.YourWebsiteName.com/index.html (the index.html document from the flashintrofolder)

To get your intro onto your website it would be suggested you upload all the files to the same folder or location on your website. If you already have a method of putting files onto your website, go ahead and use that method for putting your intro files onto your website. This method could be an upload form, a ftp program, or some other method. To send it as an email attachment, you can zip up all the files in the folder created on your desktop and email the zipped folder.

To link the Flash enter to your webpage with a Flash intro from Flash4D v4.4 (the program with the light blue background), try this:

1. Obtain a free trial of Flash4D from ( www.introwizard.com/downloads/flash4d.php ).
2. Install and open the trial software.
3. Select a design and then customize it with your own text.
4. Where it says 'Page to Show After the Design' type in the full location to your webpage you would like the Flash to be linked too. For example, you can type: http://www.YourWebsiteExampleName.com/main.html
5. Create the Flash intro and locate the Flash intro files on your desktop in a new folder. You will need to rename your current index.html page to something like main.html so that you can copy the Flash intro files to the folder on your computer that has your website files.

Once the created Flash intro files from your desktop have been copied to your website folder, you can put all the website files online and go view your intro! It should come up first, and then you can click enter and you will be directed to your Home Page which is now called main.html.

Put all the Flash files from the flashintrofolder or the flash_design_folder online to view the design.

If you're interested in emailing your intro to your web builder, email the intro folder on your desktop (should be called: flashintrofolder). You can zip the folder up and email it to your web builder, or you can simply email the files in the folder to your web builder. If your web builder is not familiar with Flash4D, you can also send them a link to the iW Tutorial section which should help them here: http://support.introwizard.com/?a=tutorials

This problem can actually be an easy issue with the Enter Button Go To URL filled out when creating the intro. When you created an intro with Flash4D, the Enter Button Go To URL field was filled in with your website url (a.k.a. web location) where the intro is, instead of the website page url to the webpage that the visitor should see after the intro. The Enter Button Go To URL field should be filled in with a url like:

http://www.MyWebsite.com/Page2.html

Breaking that down, the www.MyWebsite.com is your website location, and the Page2.html is the page you would like your visitor to see after the intro. This is the url that should be entered into the Enter Button Go To URL field in Flash4D.

The Enter Button Go To URL simply is the webpage you would like the intro viewer to see after they have seen the intro. When creating an intro, enter the first main page on your website in the Enter Button Go To URL and after the intro plays your intro will "go to" that website.

Consider downloading the latest version of your software from the customer center to fix this.

And select the product you own from the list. In this case, this may be Flash4D v4.

To uninstall the Flash intro from your website, you'll need to delete the files index.html, intro.swf, and music swf (has the name of the music item used) that are on your website along with any other files that may have been put on the website along with the intro. That may be all that you will need to do depending on whether you would like another webpage to show instead of the intro after you have removed it.

If you would like to have a different page display instead of the intro, then, you will need to rename the webpage file that you would like to have show instead of the Flash intro to index.html (unless the Flash webpage was renamed in the customization process of Flash4D.


Basically there are two steps to removing an intro from a website, delete the four files that are all in the same folder (index.html, intro.swf, music swf file [has the name of the music item used], along with any other files that may have been put on the website along with the intro

Then if wanted rename the file webpage you would like to show in place of the intro to index.html (notice the 'html' in the extension). The second step may be needed depending on the page you would rather like to be the first page of your website (that the visitor sees when they go to your domain or sub-domain site depending on where the intro is located).

Before adding the intro to your website you
should change the name of your current index file to something like
firstpage.html.

If that file is what you would like your visitors to see after they have
viewed your intro, then name it the page you have set as your Enter Button
Go To URL. This white blank was found on the Customization window and should
have had the value 'http://' in it, which you can change to the full
location of your current index file that you renamed to something like
firstpage.html or something like that.


Simply said:

Try renaming your current index.html page to main.html and then adding all the intro files (including the intro's index.html) to your website.

The intro should then play when you view your website, and if you link the intro to go to main.html afterwards, then you'll have the intro linked up with your current website.

1. First locate where the intro is stored on your computer. It should be in a folder on your desktop named something like Flash-design or Flash-intro-folder.

2. If you have your website stored on your computer, move the files (index.html, intro.swf, music.swf) from the intro folder on your desktop to your website folder where your website files are stored on your computer. You may need to rename your current index.html page to something like main.html, and then link to this with Flash4D as the page to see after the intro.

3. Update your website with the files from your computer by FTP upload, Frontpage publish or any way you use to get files on your website. These updated files now include (main.html, index.html, intro.swf, music.swf). main.html should be the page you would like visitors to see after the intro plays. You should make sure to set this as the page to see after the intro in Flash4D when creating your intro.

4. Check to see if your intro is online at your website. If not, examine the steps again. Good troubleshooting may also involve checking to see if the files are on your computer by viewing them (like the index.html file) on your computer or on the website. Check to see if the intro.swf is on the website by accessing it with a web browser.

What you will need to do is delete the page index.html which is the intro page and then rename your main page of your website to index.html to replace the deleted intro page.

So the steps are:
1. Make sure the index.html file is the intro page (has the skip intro link on it).
1.5. Delete index.html ONLY after make sure this is the intro page. As a safety measure you can rename it to something like index-old.html instead of deleting it.
2. Find your main page to your site, the one you want visitors to see first
3. Rename or move this page to be index.html
4. Check to see if you see your main page when you go to your website.

The target=_top feature of linking is only available for the bonus program of Flash4D v4.4 which is called the Extra Detailed Flash4D Design Program that is included with Flash4D v4.0.

To have a target=_top for Flash4D v4.0 and Flash4D v5.0's skip intro button (the enter button won't support target=_top) you'll have to open the flash-intro.html file on your desktop's flash intro folder that was created and edit the link (the html starts with
