    Hi a couple of things

    1 the swf would be better imported into an html page so it cant be resized (the woman image distorts depending on the browser window size)

    2 The biography section text is all over the place, and is covered up by the name graphic, also there is alot of text there, mb have a new page for it rather than scrolling up and down

    same goes for the up and coming shows just do a new page rather than a pop up window

    I am one that does not care for the flash projects to be published to fill whatever size window is open. Text and Images become too grainy and hard to view, such is with the picture of Maryellen. Can you get it crisper and cleaner? In the loing run I think you have a good site that I think she will be pleased with.

    The image(s) and text all a bit too big - the site would look much sharper if you reduced the overall scale.

    that image of the woman looks better

    what resolution is your monitor running ?

    the biography section shows text above and below the required section just add some black boxes to blank this off or mb change the text box size

    try this, just add a question mark as shown above and some random numbers after it

    or u can go into temp internet folder and delete the swf, do a search on your hard drive for the my_swf_name.swf and when u find it delete it

    this will also work

    Yes rename is the answer I have used

    I rename the swf file and change the embed code in the html
    a hassle
    I empty me temp internet file but this doesn't always work
    I will look into search on your hard drive for the my_swf_name.swf and when u find it delete it
    ps no www.black_ pheonix.net?

    Looks Good

    I like it so far. I think that the video should be played with out your back ground and maybe at a much larger size.

    The email link should be a form of some sort.

    Realy clean looking so far.

    I like the site.

    Black_pheonix I was asking if you had a web site

    citywalks12

    I had an email form (php Mailer) but was asked to remove it
    Here is my chance to state why I like it ( I will be sending this thread to the boss webmaster
    Many computers do not have an email client eg internet cafes , also people a work do not wish to have their personal messages looed on the company email
    Can you think of any more?
    The video is very much a draft and was just to show that flash plays video well the eventual site will probably use a new window
