Hehe, not too many people here who like flash eh? Have a look at the flash file and tell me what you think...it will be on the top part of the page: http://a2ztips.com/a2ztips/forum/test/test1.swf as you can see I cant really make that as an intro file and then skip to the forum > You could even put a static jpg at the top of > the forum of the final image (ie once all that funky animation has played > out) of your flash file, if you want to carry it over for a consistent > look / feel. Thats a good idea, problem is the links for the navigation is on the flash file (http://a2ztips.com/a2ztips/forum/test/test1.swf - not yet linked) And if you are interested, heres the forum: http://a2ztips.com/a2ztips/forum/ Thanks, Ryan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
