Hi,
i only have experience of flash design and i am struggling to put together an intro page for a fully flash site in html. I want the html intro page just to let peple know that it is a flash site and that they should download flash if they havent already. I have managed to lay the page out and it looks pretty much as i want it to…(which pleased me cos as i say i have never used dreamweaver or html before)…but i need help to vertically centre the content…as it is has to lead seamlessly into the flash site which is centerd in the page.
can anyone help.
to view it go to:
www.barrgazetas.com/intropage.html
then click to enter. I would also like to know if there is any clever way of making the whole page one big hot spot that can link to the flash page…as at the moment only the logo and stripe sections link to the page.
anyway, i have pasted my code below in case you can help:
