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.
