Flash question, clicking on video to navigate to new page?

I am building a kiosk where the customer is presented a 'Welcome' page where they can click to start a video.

We want the video to play to the end and then allow the customer to click a button to continue. Would this all happen within the 'flash' movie or do I need to build it in code outside the flash?

I know nothing about flash really, the video is being outsourced by our national sales team.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure the Flash plugins allow your flash videos to interact with the web browser to an extent, very similar to the features of Javascript.

it's possible to have a movie embedded in a button. or to have
the button 'space' the same as the movie, or wherever the
programmer puts the button.

actionscript will look for a movie is complete type event, then
make the button active.

this functionality can happen within the Flash file (.swf)

if they're giving you a *.flv file - i don't know.
 
like he said, if they are giving you a .fla file, you will be able to do anything to it. (You might have to program in the button after the movie is finished. That's not too hard).

If they give you a .flv (flash video) file, then they only gave you the video and you have to program around it to do what you want.

If they give you a .swf, then you're in the same boat as if they gave you a .flv file - all it means is that you need to load that .swf file from within another flash movie, and things are a bit more complicated "talking" between 2 flash movies.


What happens when they continue? Continues to a html page?
