Hello,

Hello,

I am new to ActionScript and the [GAIA Framework. I am currently building a website using the [URL=“http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/”]GAIA Framework](http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/) and I have an intro animation sequence in the background (in the index fla). My problem here is that the pages load instantly and cover the animation mid way. i would like to delay the home page from loading by a few seconds on when person first visits the site. How do i achieve this?
