Actually if your flash is not too large, you can try those free web space, like geocities or fortunecity. Using their upload manager to easily post your Flash on the web.

It is quite large nearly 100mb. Ive got the website up now, index.htm in the route direcory but no joy. I have cleared my cache, checked with the SP to see if the feature is available and it is. My site is www.indistinctive.com. Also I registered with register.com $19.95 p/m package.
upload your files and rename the intro file index.htm
1. Are you sure you don't have your settings in on the server set to go to the parked domain name.
2. I don't think you have the index.htm in the root folder or when you type www.indistinctive.com/index.htm you should get something.
3. How long ago did you purchase this domain name?
4. The 100 mb file is probably the FLA which I wouldn't put that up or everybody could take your file that you spent all your money on. What you need to do is open that up in flash then go file>Publish then you will have a new file in there with a grey icon that is the swf. That is what you would place on a page. The file size should be considerably reduced like 1 MB or so. In frontpage to insert one of these you go up to Insert>picture>flashMovie then find the swf file and that will insert it for ya.
5. Does everything work when you click on the index.htm file on your computer.
6. Does the intro page redirect to another page once it is finished or what.

The movie is interated into the home page for some reason, I would prefer it to come up once at the beginning and then close, then go on to the home page. I think the images are up now but some are still not linking.

Also make your index page index.html not index.htm cause your link in on the menu goes to index.html.
