While I agree with tweaked_eye, there are legit reasons to do this.

You need to put your introduction video or swf on your index.html folder.  
When people go to http://yoursite.com the first page their browser will
automatically look for is "index.html

On the last frame of your swf (which I assume you're using) you can put in
some actionscript that tells the browser to go to a new page.  Basically you
need to move your current index.html content to, say, index2.html or home.html

If you're using Dreamweaver, I think there should be an automatic function to
change all of your static links pointing to "index.html" to whatever new file
you make...

Hope that helps!

Is this how I would get video clips to play in a specified order? Put them into
swf files and then have action scripts at the end to play the next swf or video
clip? Or can I create actual video playlists in swf files?

Thanks

Thank you for the response
the reason i am doing is because my client asked me to...
can you be more specific on the coding? i am not that familiar with flash
once i import my video in flash what shell i do next?
many thanks
Mike
