Am I correct that your main index page should be blank and have the Flash Deployment kit installed.

So this means you would have an index page and maybe and index2 page that contains your real start page?

Thanks for any info.

That's what people usually do, yes - warn people that you need to have the flash plugin installed before starting up the site and/or detect for it using the deployment kit. Otherwise people who don't have the plugin will be wondering why they're seeing a blank screen.

It's important, of course, to make your start page look nice and include a logo and some information about what to expect on the site. So you're not correct in saying the page should be blank Wink

It should definitely not be left completely blank if you want the search engines to have anything to so with your site either!
