Hi there ya'll.

I admire sites that have all flash site in index.html, where in url u don't see it as .html, just like..
www.chhm.com and that's it. I want it so when a user tries to view code, there's only the flash setting box type of thing. For example, peep these for clarity/comparisons... photosite & photosite 2b

I was thinking of maybe a redirection script to my index.html with the .swf in it, which sends users to just the .swf file? Does that make sense and would it work?

Thanks,

chhm

first problem:
When you redirect a user to a swf file, the dimensions you set for your fla will be magnified.. user gets a bad quality swf.

second problem:
Search engines will never index your site

Solution:
Create a full screen flash movie that fill the complete browser area

One: I think there would be settings applied to that folder on the server to make it display a SWF file by default. If you go to: it shows the same page with the whole URL.

Two: You can ALWAYS view the page source by using the menu bar: View >> Source (In IE).

Sorry, I just realized that I was explaining Funky's link... ;)

But the same applies: IF you go to www.chhm.com/index.html it shows you the page displayed if you just go to www.chhm.com. This would be a setting on the web server to make it call the index.html file as default without actually going to it (does that make sense :) ), therefore it doesn't show in the address bar.
