Open the flash version of your animation and go to publish. Make sure you check
both the flash and the HTML checkbox.



This publishes not only your .swf file but also publishes an html file with
the html on it needed to run the animation.

In your web editor (i use frontpage ) and create a blank page.

open the published html file iusing notepad and copy the html code onto the
blank entrance page of ur site!

set this new intro page to ur index page (or homepage) and upload both the
..swf file and the html page onto geocities!!

if u need anymore help, post here again!

no probs.

for the button problem...

-create your button (ie. a static button or create up,over,down,hit images
etc)
-convert it to a symbol.
-right click your button then click "Actions." > the actions window appears.
-select "Actions" in the actions window and then select "Browser/Network"
-drag the "getURL" rule/action into the input field near the bottom and enter
your url, frame,etc....
-then save and publish (bothHTML and .swf) again (lol) and upload to geocities
again.

if you got anymore probs with this, post again...ive subscribed to this thread!
