Annoying Flash intro

    Hello, i have a joomla website. When it was built in 2005, the website was simply html and javascript. The website wasn´t built by me and at that time, i didn´t know even anything about websites. Later i studied and transformed my website in joomla. The first html version had very good head with a fine logo and a swf file. I kept it always, but this swf always had a problem. It loads not only on the homepage but it restarts everytime we change page, and that´s annoying. I would like to make load just on the homepage. and for example, if someone switch the music off, it remains off, even if we change page, not restarting everytime.

    Can someone tell me how to fix this issue?

    website is ibermusics.com

    Many many thanks in advance

    Why not just take out the SWF video? Since it's Joomla, you should have an admin area, where you can change or edit the header. I've used joomla like once, so I don't remember exactly what's inside. Is there a way to edit in the admin?

    Worst comes to worst, there should be a template for the header that you can edit and take out what you want. Probably a php file you can edit with most any web page editor.

    I'm with ayeronnie on that -- just axe the annoying SWF video since it's a waste of bandwidth and is bound to just piss off visitors. Much like splash pages, auto-playing music, scripted rotating banners, and a host of other "gee ain't it neat" nonsense, it typically doesn't belong on a website in the first place!
