Create intro flash / page in Joomla

Recently I am doing a website in joomla and I wanted to have an intro page for it. By default, there is no facility for it in joomla by default. Dont worry. Create an index.html file and put in the root directory. It will first take up that html file and you have successfully created an intro page. On this intro page provide a link to index.php file and you just entered into your joomla site. What if your hosting takes index.php as default? Then create .htaccess file and add following line in it:
       DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
This tells apache to load index.html as default page. replace index.html with your intro filename. Another option is to install joomla inside sub-directory and put intro file outside joomla directory and point index.php inside that sub directory.

  3. This doesn't work. If you use this method, every time you click the home button you will be taken back to the flash intro which is unacceptable for a real web site. If you know of a way to fix this I'd love to hear it.
