If you are autoloading the welcome.php file as your default controller, then as explained above you would have:

Code:
&lt;?php

class Welcome extends Controller{

   function Welcome(){

      parent::Controller();

   }

   function index(){

      $this->load->view('flash_view'); //Load view with flash banner

   }

   function home(){

      $this->load->view('home_view'); //Load your homepage view

   }

}

//In your flash_view.php file

&lt;body&gt;

   &lt;embed src="flash.swf" /&gt;

   <p>&lt;?php echo anchor('welcome/home','Skip');?&gt;</p>

&lt;/body&gt;

//In your home_view.php file

&lt;body&gt;

  <h1>Welcome to my homepage</h1>

  <p>This is my homepage!</p>

&lt;/body&gt;

?&gt;

Any controller will call the index method by default unless another method is passed in a url. In this example, since index calls your flash page, when someone goes to http://www.yoursite.com, CI is actually loading http://www.yoursite.com/welcome/index. Then when you click the skip link you will then be loading http://www.yoursite.com/welcome/home.

As a side note, flash/splash pages have become a little taboo over that last few years. Why not just incorporate the flash piece into your real homepage?
