Okay I have an index.html page that is my main page...when you type in www,mysite,com it goes to the index.html page. I want to make a flash intro and i want www,mysite,com to open to the intro.html instead of the index.html.....how do I do make that happen? Do i have to go to the domain website and fix something there or can I do it with code???

thanks

Nope... just insert this after the starting <head> tag:
Code: 
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.your_url_here.com/">
The 0 you see there is the amount of seconds til the page 'refreshes' to the alternate url supplied. 0 basically means "without delay". If you want a few seconds delay then enter a small nimber there, like 2 or 3.
 
Just a word of caution... Search engine robots/spiders hate automatic redirects, so if you're concerned about your page getting indexed I'd recommend not using them.
 
You can just set the Flash intro page as the index.html and add a link on the page to enter the site and call your home page somthing like home.html

Thats probably the best solution :}. Although they're convenient I'd avoid HTTP refreshes like the plague.
