ok, so i'm working on an intro page for a site that basically just has their logo, commercial, and "Skip Intro" button on it. the commercial video is an FLV file, and i can't figure out for the life of me how to get it to redirect to the homepage after the video is done playing.

i'm sort of a n00b when it comes to Flash, and i tried searching for tutorials on how to do this, but couldn't find anything.

any ideas?

don't know much Flash, but if you want a quick out,

define an 'id' for your flash object on the page, create a script, and have it continuosly listen to the flash object until the readystate == complete. when complete, have the page redirect to the 2nd page?

there should be a better way to do this. this is just a quick out.

ActionScript to replace the document location.

(maybe that's what the previous link was, I didn't check.)

HTH. Personally, I don't like using Flash on websites, but I can see why a Flash intro would be helpful.

^^that could work too ..

or

code:

Script LANGUAGE="VBScript"
Sub [name of object]_OnReadyState(lReadyState)
'check for complete, if so, then redirect
End Sub
/SCRIPT

Man, I really need to get back into ActionScripting. Only got up to Lesson 2 in 'Training From The Source'.

or a dirty sleezy bad way of doing it is using header redirect. You might know how long the movie is, so use this to redirect them after that amount of time is over hehe

code:

< HEAD>

< META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" 
CONTENT="15;URL=http://www.thewebsite.com">
< /HEAD>

that's the homeless man's way out of this.

i know, I lol'd when I thought of it. hehe

If you're using AS2 & NetStream class:

code:


var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);

netStream.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
if (infoObject.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty") {

 //end of video, redirect here
}
};


maVideo.attachVideo(netStream);
netStream.setBufferTime(2);
netStream.play("yourvideo.flv");
