So if it has actual content, it should be HTML, not flash.

By using flash you're restricting your readership to: (1) people with flash
intalled; (2) people with browsers that support flash; (3) people with
browsers that support graphics; and (4) people who can read.

(Not to mention (5), people who won't get so irritated by the pointless
flash intro page that they'll give up and go elsewhere.)

If it's a corporate website, then (4) may hit you quite hard --- doesn't the
ADA decree that websites should be accessible to the blind?
