It's pretty good, but it's too short + needs sound. If you are going to use an intro, it needs to be a little longer, and a little more catchy. Take a look at some places with a really good flash intro (IMHO), such as:

1. http://www.futurequest.net/
2. http://www.balthaser.com/home.html
3. http://www.4guys.com/

See what I mean? They don't just put their logo on the intro and a few lines of text, they are designed to keep you interested from a beginning. If used properly, a flash intro can be a great branding tool for your site- but if it isn't use properly, it can just be an extra hassle taking up loading time.

Not bad, but why is the background color of the page different then the background color of the flash animation? Doesn't look good.

You could make it longer by first introducing the products you sell, then fade it your logo. I don't know, but I've seen that done before. Violin music like from Star Wars would sound good
