Overview

The flash landing page ( intro ) displays a background image, which you can change.

To change the background image, there are 2 things you need to know, the size of the image, and the location.

Create a replacement image, with the same dimensions, and file name then all you need to do is save it to the {Site / flash / images / themed_background} folder, to replace the default image.

** some graphic editors save jpg images as 'progressive' change this to NON-PROGRESSIVE
** use all lower case / no spaces when naming image...remember to use the (  _ ) between the words "intro" and "bg"
