Flash on the front page and rest of the site in wordpress?

    Now I am in the process of developing a website based on wordpress framework. This will be a static site.

    I would like to give it's front page a very pro look and feel and don't want to have any wordpress page/post, header or footer on the front page.

    Is it possible to have an html page/flash outside of "wordpress system" as the first page of the site? Rest of the pages/posts can from wordpress itself.

    To be more clear; One way I was thought was to have wordpress installed on the inner level instead on the root of domain. So instead of having wordpress on ajonit.com I can have ajonit.com/blog and then I can easily have some flash page on the root.

    My question is can I have a wordpress installation on the root itself and at the same time have front page(which is in flash) coming from outside the "wordpress-system".

    Trust my question is clear.

    Actually WordPress first looks for a home.php file within the theme subdirectory before serving the front page of a blog. Best bet would be to create the flash and have it in the theme's home.php file.
