Off topic as it doesn't involve Flash, but if you have the right photos (e.g., sultry/seductive), and enough of them, you might want to create a downloadable screen saver. Include the site address discreetly in the photos. Possibly include your contact info somewhere to generate future business.
Shouldn't be dificult to put together, and it gives you another chargeable line item, or a freebie to enhance customer satisfaction.
This example has two button onstage. They each have an action that sends text to a textfield. It will slide two shapes over the buttons. The top shape is just a shape which acts juct like your images in that site and allows the button below it to track the mouse events. The bottom shape is a clip and will block the lower button since it is a button itself (with no actions). Itcould just as easily be a picture converted to a clip.

Set the background clip's useHandCursor property to false. This way you can detect the hit areas of the buttons over the blocking clip with the mouse cursor.Quote:

See - that's why I love this place. Look at all these helpful suggestions. Thanks, gentlemen.
Believe it or not - I had already solved that "ghost button" problem a few days ago with an actionscript item in the attachMovie clip of the eyes that buffers the loading .swfs. It advances the mother movie one frame to a blank frame behind each child movie. One of those cases of a dead laptop and work getting spread across machines. The corrected version is up now.
The Chris approach of turning the backround image into a blocking button might have been easier, though. Funny how so many solutions are possible.
The "Sounds" page player buttons seems to work on my system. I get volume control both from my slider and the control on the player.
The scrolling of the gallery is more of a challenge as the actionscript is beyond me. I changed some numbers in the script that seemed to move the center of gravity more to the right to compensate for the placement of the component on the page. It's not very precise, though. Probably need a different control system. I don't know if the original I downloaded had an actual "pause" state.
The screensaver idea is intriguing - I will investigate that one.
Hi, it's brand new!

Ciao!
Site looks really nice. You have a very good looking site.
Couple of things to consider.
Allow us to turn off music on main page, This is especially important as it's distracting when listening to the sample music to hear the other music going as well.
In the gallery I'd rather see the large photos stay showing until you click another one instead of going away when you release the mouse.
Minor English translation thing. Contacts is Plural you probably want the tab to read Contact. Also in your bio you start with "I starts" you might consider changing that to "I started"
Thanks. There's a player on the bottom of the page, so you can stop the music. regarding the pictures.... I will add a slide show or something. Regarding the mistakes... I'm sorry. I made mistakes by typing! I will make corrections.
Thaaaaaaanks!!
Ciao

Sir,
I didn't understand the "Contacts"/"Contact" point!
Sarah
oh, yes, i got it...
Great well done, one tiny thing, there is a vertical black line to the right of the gallery tab, is that maybe a box that still has a border?
OK Poker game is nearly done (well nearly working anyway) Right now it plays one hand only and doesn't payout... I have that working but still figuring out how best to reset for next hand and to payout winnings in the game, But please have a look and let me know what you think

I made something like this with the help of a book and turned it into an exe file for a real eastate agent. It is harder than it looks sometimes. As for reseting the next hand, you really only have 13 cards * 4. So you could "shuffle" after each hand. ( I did a "stoned" version put never posted it. I was trying to copy card playing after a few brewskies but never had the nerve to post it.)Quote:

Update!: Game is up and running. So please help me find the flaws I know of a couple of minor things. There are a few things I want to add yet, like the instructions. Also Note that the swf is only 80k
For the poker game,
Add a few more chips for us big timers. Like three 5$, 10$, 50$ chips options.
Instructions for people who have never played and it seems like any game needs a goofy splash page reguaredless of how good it is, but go ahead and change this trend.
With solitare you can now change the backs of the cards like wallpaper.
and since I just blew 22,000 dollars testing your game, please send a check to my office for reimbursement.
This is a great game and you have blow away my try at it!!!
Nice work with this as tmoore935 said add more chips but 10,100,1000 beacuse i ended up with $10,000 and i would have taken me ages to place my bet but other than that you done a realy realy good job.
Poker updated... History added, More betting options and fixed bug with getting a straight.
66k only not too shabby. An example of the power of Koolmoves.
Nice work
