I am assuming you have your intro in /index.html and you want your joomla site to activate at index.php. 

You are probably not finding a solution because this is not a good way to go about  your problem. 

fixing your home page isn't going to  fix all your problems just the first one. 

an easy solution would be to put your main site in a sub directory example

mysite.com/index.html (intro)
mysite.com/s/ (joomla)

another solution is you can make the intro your joomla front page, you can than make sure all your joomla links don't redirect users to the root, example the logo clicking back to home. 

install a  very bare template, with the intro and assign it to default menu item.

If you are using k2, the frontpage doesn't have much  other use, because you don't need the publish to front page. 


My advice is don't use a flash intro though.
