Search Safe Flash Intro

Among design professionals, Flash intros are not popular. Even so, sometimes a client will insist. I had this very situation recently.

I made the argument that it was bad for usability. No avail, working in a visual medium, they were very concerned with making a visual impact. I made the argument that it would be bad for search engines. No avail, the client was only concerned with visitors already familiar with the company.

Having failed to convince the client not to have a Flash intro on their site, I was left with figuring out how to best accomplish their request. I couldn't do anything about the usability (the intro did include a "skip intro" button though). The search engine problem, however, seemed like something that I should be able to solve.

I want to play a vey short intro to my website.

The solution that you suggest here is exactly what I need.

Could you please provide the code in the form of a demo page, without using Coldfusion.

My knowledge with regard to web development is very limited, I usually look at examples and customise it for mywebsite.

Thanking you in advance
