I have this intro here
http://www.neighborhudfilms.com/

And I want it to redirect after the video finishes playing. But I've never worked with FLV and I have no idea where to start...

Also, does a pre-loader work the same?

This is going to sound stupid, but you ARE using flash to edit the FLV, rather than a HTML program to try to get it to redirect?

From what I can remember, yes the preloader runs and its done in ActionScript same but instead of "If loaded 100% Go to Frame X" I think when you get to the end of the movie it should need script thats something along the lines of "Go to Html..."

But it's been years since I've used it

Yeah of course

But the flv player has no Timeline in flash, sooo I need some kind of "whenMovieEnds('goredirect');" type deal. I've googled, but I can't find it

If you have the movie file (Maybe that include .flv, WHO KNOWS) you can import it, choosing Embed Into Timeline (Or whatever) in the video import wizard. Then on the last frame of the timeline, like at the end, have the script:

getURL("iamgay.com/lol", _parent);

_parent refers to opening the URL in the same window as the flash is being played.
Probably.
If it's not _parent, it might be _self. I don't know, I was tryin to redirect somethin like last week, it took me fuckin ages to work out what I was doin wrong.
