Importing/editing Intro in Flash

I imported the .swf intro file that i rendered from 3ds Max and inserted it into a new scene in our application. I opened up the movie clip and as you can see, all the frames are there.

The first think i wanted to do was to insert a background onto the scene. I used the same striped background we used for the main page but changed the brightness to make it darker.
I then went into the movie clip and began to edit the animation. Firstly i imported the Autoshow logo onto the scene and positioned it over the wheel. I changed the alpha level to 0% and tweened it back to 100%. I also used a tween to rotate the logo at the same rate as the wheel so it faded in very nicely.
I then changed the brightness of the background back to normal and brought it forward of the animation. The next thing i did was insert a preloader that i made in flash. This gives a very professional look to the intro.
Once the loading bar has completed i added an ENTER button and a skip intro button. The enter button had action script attached to it allowing it to link to the main frame. This script is shown below.
Now the intro was complete and it runs and functions smoothly. The next task i was going to consider was added audio.
