    Turn scrollbars off, ( <Body scroll=no> ) Something close to that.

    To me, a website doesen't necesarely have to move and blink if it's made in flash.

    I choose flash because the information displayed inside the swf is displayed instantly, unlike html, wich must read the html file every time the page is displayed.

    About the scrollbar thing - still working on it

    wow... that's probably the best "simple" flash web site I've seen. I've always wanted to make something like that - hmm... I'll have to try to forget it so I don't accidentally leech the design

    Nice stuff -
    I like the whole simplistic thing you have going.
    The main problem I see with the site is that most of your text is blurry (in the nav, and the content).

    [edit]
    I'm suprised, I didn't know you could use scroll wheels on mice in flash. Mind telling me how you did that?

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

    Okay, the main trick with the scrolling wheel is using a Javascript function to detect whenever user scrolls the wheel and send it to Flash.

    In the html page header, i used :

    PHP Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    document.onmousewheel = function () {
      
    window.document.movie.SetVariable("_level0.scrollData",event.wheelDelta);       
    }
    </
    script
    Inside Flash :

    PHP Code:
    result this.createEmptyMovieClip("scrollLoop"100);
    result.onEnterFrame = function() {
        if (
    _level0.scrollData != 0) {
        
    ScrollBy(_level0.scrollData/3);
        }
        
    _level0.scrollData 0;
    }; 
    The only disadvantage is that it works only on IE browsers.

    About the font, I'd happily loose the current if I knew a better one that is displayed correctly under a mask. (Keep in mind that you must embed fonts under masks)
    brr.

    Thanks for those scripts
    If you're looking for different fonts, try these two sites:

    Something that must change immediately is the CONTRAST! I didn't even notice it scrolled on my LCD monitor! When I visited the site on my other computer, it looked fine. Please add contrast!

    Fonts aren't bad at all, just blurred. Reference this threat:

    Well the fonts in there are not scaled and they are positioned to fixed coordinates, I know the rules of using pixel fonts in flash

    If you look at the left top corner, you'll see that that portion is not antialiased.

    The only problem is that those are dynamic textfields, so there is no way that the characters inside a wider/larger text are kept aligned with pixels, thus resulting the blur effect.

    If you have any specific suggestion, I'd be happy to know them
    brr.
