Yeah, I'd definitely agree with CP - and add that - from a marketing standpoint - while the animation is cool, your company name doesn't stay static at the end; you may definitely want to land on it (because - as you're still a new company - name recognition is really important, and it's hard to stick it in people's heads if the logo doesn't stick around at the end of the animation for at least a few seconds.)
Also to Chernie's point, click-through data has shown that the longer it takes a page to load, the less people stick around to see it. This is not to say that you have to limit yourself to HTML - there's all kinds of great SEO for flash these days, and there are a lot of cool tricks you can do to improve loading - I'd recommend talking to a flash specialist for implementation. (I've got a crew of them if you need ideas.)
