Topic awaiting preservation: always skip intro? how to? (Page 1 of 1)

Cheers!

I am in need for a "always skip intro" script with cookies. I have tried several scripts i found on the net but they all either not working well or behaving rather strangely.

What i have is: A 680x420 flash intro centered horizontally and vertically with css. A "skip intro" button under it.
What i want is: An array of buttons under the flash intro like this:

pretty much explains it all. what you'll need to do is set the cookie as "true" when a user clicks the "always skip" link. then check if the cookie is "true" as the page loads, and redirect them using location.href="", else just let the rest of the page load. it is simpler, and probably faster for the user however, to use php cookies, so that might be something you want to look into if you know php. otherwise the javascript will work just fine for most people.

For the JS code needed to write and read cookies have a look at the FAQ:

:FAQ: How do I set and read cookies in JavaScript?

If you have those functions you should be able to have the "always skip intro" link set a cookie which is checked every time someone visits the page (and if it was set you'd use location.href = "foo.html" to automatically redirect to the next page).
