swf file as site index page?

[djbdr248]

Is there a way to make a swf the index page for a site so when they go to the site it gos to the swf but in the address window it still says for example www.stickitindetroit.com, not jump to an extention like www.stickitindetroit.com/swffile.swf ?

I cant use imbeding code because my buttons don't work when I use it so I need the index page for the site to be the actual swf.?

You could simply have the index page forward to the .swf, or embed the .swf into the index page.

I need the url to still say www.stickitindetroit.com and I cant use embeding code because when I embed the swf my buttons don't work.

It should work. You may have coded the buttons wrong.

Not sure, but naming it index.swf should work.

what embed code are you using tho?

use this

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="index.swf" width="500" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="index.swf"><param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Set the server to serve the swf file when someone requests the resource "/". This way, you don't even have any url hiding issues to worry about, because the visible url is the real url.

Just remember to send the correct content type for swf files, whatever that is.

I've seen that done b4.How do you hide the url?

[henke37]

As I said, you don't hide the url, you make the content appear for real on the url. Just tell the httpd server that if it gets a request for the resource "/", it should reply with the content of the swf file.
