very professional work.

hey i was wondering how you made your audio bar. I like the quality and the time it takes to load. I need something like this on my site.

[Iwanb]

great design

[5thavedesign]

i would speed up the load times if i were you, i'm on dial-up and it seemed to take forever to load.

Yea. Firefuze bases most of his work on
a lot of raster images (photoshop).
I'm guessing that he believes his target
audience will be on broadband.
If you take a look at his portfolio,
you'll notice that it's filled with movies
qwith HUGE file sizes.

DSI.STUDIO_LorD - Yes i do make my own graphics. If you want me to make some custom stuff for you, just use the contact info in my profile.

r-exp - The audio player is just a bunch of streamed mp3's that load into different levels. It's not that complicated.

As far as the filesize, it's only like what... 700kb? That's nothing really. On broadband that's like 5 seconds? Seriously, i think everyone should have broadband right now, it costs just about the same as 56, so i dont know why people still use 56k.

As far as the site... I havn't updated it or anything. But i'm making a new site! It's currently in development and I'll get it done this month! (hopefully) Though it's going to be Flash MX and Photoshop. I'll also try and squeeze in a new intro that'll be mostly 3ds Max. The intro is gonna be around 5mb so 56k'ers beware!

And I forgot to add when i do release the next version I will upload the .SWI for v2!

[r-exp]

yeah i figured everything out already hehe.

[Veniogenesis]

Firefuze, dang... It sounds like the new
version is going to be great!

[Frets]

Looking foreward to the next version as well.

Cos stupid parents wont pay that tiny bit extra for much much faster internet

Anyhoo, yay it's arrived!
Melikes, nice clean style and everythign good bar a few iddy biddy bits.

I'm on an 800x600 res and I can't actually get to the bottom without highlighting the whole thing, which is kinda awkaward.
It didn't all load properly, it would on a broadband connection but on my 56k the majority loaded fast then took a few more second for the buttons to actually do anything etc. Not very long at all really but when your in such suspense!

Now posistive!
Nice colours and very clean.
Nice sounds.
That little clock is really cool! Nice idea!
and the usual cool graphics

P.S, sorry I've not been to your forums for a while but I've been real busy with A levels and stuff. Excuses excues

[Frets]

Availability is still a primary concern
also support.
I had dsl 3 months on then 1 off
4 months on then 1 off 2 months on then
3months off.

Very nice, clean page. My only complaint would be that the beeping noise is too frequent, think that has already been brought up, though.

I've been scouring this and other boards to learn as much as possible. This is a great example of what a flash site should look like, can't wait for the next version-

[Firefuze]

heh, theres actually people looking forward to the next version! thats something new

I don't know when I'll be done the next version. I started working on the layout in photoshop but i've been posting alot of graphics on deviantart so that i can improve and get recognized out there. And now that school is starting I dont think it will be anytime sooner than a month or two.

Aside from all the kudos (which I agree with), there are a few things which are probably typos:

1. In the main window, you repeat the word 'more' - "This is where you can learn more more about me..."

2. In your portfolio window, it initially comes up with "pick a section from the right". I believe you mean "from the left".

3. (personal preference) On the audio bar, you give seven options, but, like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, you don't know what you're gonna get until you pick one. Maybe you could display what the selection is on rollover.

Watch the music tracks, it's not real professional to have objectional material playing.
Listing the site requirements doesn't accomplish anything, try using Flash detection.
