Hi Ruben. I am glad that it helped. Really the cache suggestion was only a temp fix as it means that every time someone visits the intro page, they will be forced to re-download the intro swf. I would suggest you talk to your Flash dev and have them fix their code to handle a browser refresh (and re-encode the video - you should be able to get the video to 100's of kb, not MBs!)
