Main page briefly flashing before desired page shows

[cchian]

I managed to get the logic to show a particular page if current date is earlier than certain date, unfortunately before this page shows you can actually see my main page flash for a moment. How can I prevent the main page from flashing?

You don’t tell WHERE you have placed your Jump code. I tried the template “Multilingual” and I couldn’t notice any flashing (the Jump code is found on first page On Show).

I have the Jump statement in Project Action on StartUp:

-- detect if run date is earlier than revision date, if true then show 'pre' page
if dateiso < strrevisioniso then
        Page.Jump("pre");
end

I will take a look at the template you mention. Maybe I need to make my "pre" page the main page?

Thanks

Aside from that issue, if you have a gateway page and two destination pages it's better general design practice to reduce that to one gateway page which also doubles as a destination page, and one destination page. Typically you would add the gateway code check to the "most likely used" destination page and then have that as your main page.

Corey,

I set my "preload" page first, then my "Main" page. It now works as intended.
Thanks!
