Hi The first thing you should do, and it's probably a topic for project decision maker/manager is to ask the question... "if we need a skip link then is the "intro" useful in the first place?". If the intro describes the company somehow then serve the homepage and provide a link to the flash piece on that page. This will solve all your problems for everyone, not just screen reader users. Plenty of resources on this topic somewhere on the web and is probably outside the WSG list scope.
That said, my thoughts would be on a skip intro - *stick the link in plain text at the start of the document so that everyone can hit it if they want. *set a cookie on the user, read it when they come back and serve the real home page by sending a Location: header to the browser. As a developer I'd personally do what I describe in the first paragraph (make take some selling though) Cheers James PS don't put skip links in the flash move... ! don't laugh .. it has been done!
