How to have flash file start automatically instead of index.html?

I want to make a flash file (.swf) and place it in the root directory of my website (mysite.com/file.swf) so that whenever someone goes to mysite.com the flash file plays, however, I don’t want to remove the index.html file that is located in there. I want the index.html file to only be accessible when someone enters mysite.com/index.html. How do I do this.

You don’t have to remove the index.html, you just have to rename it. Browsers will automatically load index.html as the main page of your site, so just name the html container for your .swf "index.html" and then name your original index.html something else. This is according to my limited knowledge of html though, so if I’m wrong, someone please correct me. Cheers!
