it doesnt look anything like xp, but it's a definitely "windows-ish". gj.

what i ment by looking like windows xp, was by design.....
the start menu, and lay out....


Thanks though.

you may want to change the icons in your menu, a window management system mimicking windows is one thing, but there, you're bordering on copyright infringment

i'll keep that in mind.../me starts working on new icons

Thanks

I find that sites that fill my screen a great big annoyance. I clicked on the images link which opened a window with anoter button to click to get to images that were not there. I then had to right click to choose to go back because I had no other options since the whole screen was consumed. For the staff links, only one works. Exiting the site is a matter of search and destroy. It would be better to have this button more easily located. The music player is ok, But the volume control only works after release. It should be adjusting the volume as it is being dragged. I liked the background images and the fact they could be changed. Get yourself some sort of preloader. Although it took less than 30 seconds for me(DSL), imagine the person on 56k.

Don't change too much, though. I am only one person.

Keep up the great work!

I was wondering if there is a way to load Images into a flash movie dynamicly

[chosenson]

Unzip the 2 files to the same dir. Then open the fla. then test movie. This will load the included image. You can look at the script to see how it is done.

this should've been posted at the site check board.

anyway... I HATE FULLSCREEN FLASH SITES WITHOUT GIVING THE CHOICE TO VIEW IT OTHERWISE. IT'S VERRRRRRY IRRITATING.

plus, it's just a simple desktop looking site... you should try changing the fonts, and the graphics you used... go to the "site check" and "cool sites" boards... you'll see good stuff there that you can adopt.

sorry, about posting this in the wrong section

[mxgen]

no problemo... just PM one of the mods and ask them to move it for you, then the discussion can continue in the correct board.

see you there!
