hi Larry,


this looks Great! Congratulations.


If Frame Is Loaded should work as you describe. Don't put it in the first 

frame, however, as it may get skipped over. Pad your movie with just a few 

empty frames first.


This is one instance where you apparently don't want to put If Frame Is 

Loaded into a loop, since you want either to play the whole intro or else 

go to the home page, depending if it's a first-time visitor.
