I’m working on a website where the client wants the landing page (index.html) to start by having an animation that was created in After Effects, followed by a link beneath that says ENTER SITE.

What I’d like to know is if I’m going about this in the write manner.

First I created the animation in AF and exported it as an animation file. I then converted the ANIM using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to a FLV.

Now:  
1: Do I import FLV in flash and add a preloader then publish it to a swf?

2: Or do I just insert the FLV directly in Dreamweaver?

I’m a little worried if I take the second option that viewers with a slower internet connection won’t have the FLV load fast enough.

The FLV is 3.9MB in size fyi…

What would be the right way in doing this?
