Hey,  
Simply add a button on your intro frame and add the following code:

on (keyPress “\< Space \>”) {  
gotoAndPlay (2);  
}

Delete the ‘space’ after the \< and before the \> when using it in Flash. Ezboard wouldn’t allow me to display the code any other way. It should say \<Space\>.

When the space bar is pressed, you will move to frame 2 of your animation. Modify the “2” to whatever frame your animation starts on.
