Body
<p>1) Flash intro: bad practice, especially as so many users are now surfing with devices that either don't come with Flash, or have disabled Flash entirely. Flash also completely destroys search engine results. #1 recommendation: learn how to do animation in HTML5/CSS3, if you absolutely must, but intro screens are incredibly harmful to usability in general. The only real excuse for using them is to provide some sort of feedback to users if you're trying to front-load assets (image sprites for a game, or data for a dashboard, for example).</p> <p>2) You can't load Flash before the <code><body></code> of a page. It just doesn't work. However, given that, you could put together a structure like this:</p> <pre><code><body> <div id="flashObj"></div> <div id="mainContent"></div> </body> </code></pre> <p>Then you could call a javascript function from the end of your Flash animation (see <a href="http://www.kirupa.com/flash/calling_javascript_flash_using_as3.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.kirupa.com/flash/calling_javascript_flash_using_as3.htm</a> for a tutorial) using the ExternalInterface object, but note that there are several browsers that still have issues with that object, so your cross-platform usability goes even further down.</p> <p>Essentially, in your html, you would have:</p> <pre><code><style> #mainContent { display:none; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> function startMainContent(){ var flash = document.getElementById("flashObj"); var main = document.getElementById("mainContent"); if(flash && main){ flash.style.display == "none"; main.style.display == "block"; } } </script> </code></pre> <p>Then in your ActionScript, after your animation completes, you would add something like:</p> <pre><code>ExternalInterface.call("startMainContent()"); </code></pre> <p>Assuming ExternalInterface is working correctly, and you've followed Adobe's documentation for setting the proper flags in your <code><object /></code> tag to enable access to Javascript from your Flash object, that should do the trick.</p> <p>See this for an official Adobe guide to ExternalInterface: <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf626ae-7fe8.html#WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7f31" rel="nofollow">http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf626ae-7fe8.html#WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7f31</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
