Sure.  I'm working with a designer, doing the back end to his front-end.  One of my 
concerns is this 100k splash page (100k is the reduced version... Don't get me started 
on that subject).

index.cfm is a page that serves to either 
1. visit the splash page if the user's browser has Flash 5 (intro.cfm)
2. ask the user to upgrade to Flash 5 if they have a previous version 
(upgradeflash.cfm)
3. Ask the user to install Flash 5 if they don't have Flash (installflash.cfm)

Further, once a user is determined to have the proper Flash (case 1):
1. if they click the html 'Skip Intro' link they go to skipped.cfm, where they're 
CFLOCATION'd to main.cfm.
2. if they watch the movie, it dumps out to main.cfm, which is the actual home page 
for the site, and the 'home' link on the site menu.

None of the pages prior to main.cfm are on the menu.  you have to physically type in 
index.cfm, or the plain root url to do the above dance all over again. A session 
cookie traps whether or not they've been to the movies in the current session, and 
bypasses the tracking system referenced above to give a purer, per-real-person set of 
numbers.

bah, humbug.

maybe i don't understand what you're trying to do here, but i
don't see how access to this code will be limited to first-time
visitors only. can you clarify?
