If I understand you have 2 Flash components one a Splash and one a menu.


Index.htm would load the Splash.swf.

At the end of the splash or a bypass button

would load Menu.swf into level zero (or you could use getURL).

Also, put an If frame is Loaded to prevent replay of the splash.


All links that return to the menu should go to Menu.htm (not Index.htm).

Menu.htm will load Menu.swf directly.
