Index Page

programming flash
1

Hi,

I’m trying (“trying” being the key word) to create my first website.
I’ve designed the entire website in Flash. There will be many people
who view this website who are not Internet savy. Therefore, I thought
it would be a good idea to create an HTML index page that they will
arrive on first. It will have the usual “You will need Flash player to
view this site. If you do not have Flash , please click here” If
they “click here,” I will redirect them to the Macromedia site. My
questions are:

  1. How do I create the HTML Index page using only Flash? Do I just
    create a page as a I normally would in Flash and publish it as an HTML
    document?

  2. How do I create the button that they click on on the Index page to
    launch the Flash site?

  3. When they click on the button on the Index page to launch my Flash
    site, I would like the entire Flash site to be in a pop-up window the actual size of the flash site i made.
    How do I do this?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide. I apologize in advance if
these questions have been answered previously a 1,000 times or are
ridiculous. Once again sorry for being a pain.
