A few tips:
1) Get their message up quick and get out of there.
2) If using text, keep it on screen long enough to be read. When you're making it in Flash, watch it several times and make enough time before transitions to read each sentance.
3) By God you better have a skip intro button on there
4) Don't put music that's going to scare someone if their speakers are on loud, AKA NO THROBBING 200 bpm TECHNO MUSIC.
5) Don't repeat anything within the intro.
6) Think of it as a commercial: where should the climax be? What conveys the main point, and where?
7) See what you can do in 10 seconds, if it's not enough, try 15.
8) Definatly, absolutely, always code it so that the next time a viewer goes to the site, they are taken straight to the site and not to the intro.
Put a link somewhere in the site for the intro, but do not take them there more than once.
9) Be subtle, graceful even. You can say so much with so little sometimes.
