do you have the intro on a different scene than the flash movie it self?  
or is it in a different swf file or how… ?  
if it was on a different scene it would just be like:

on (release) {  
gotoAndplay(“your\_movie\_scene”, 1);  
}

My intro will be loading a different swf file when its finished, so i need the skip button to link to the next swf page.

If the intro is loading a swf then you can’t skip the intro? You have to make sure the swf is loaded before you can go to it. How are you loading it? Into an empty movieclip on the main file or into levels?

You could use the same loading code you used to load the .swf after the intro on the ‘Skip Intro’ button.
