Liked it a lot. The shpe morphs are good, and the flashes too, but sometimes a little overdone. Maybe some sound? background is pretty good, and load times really good.
I'm not too sure about the unaliased bank gothic, you shuold maybe try a pixel font. Standard would probably be the best one here.
Oh, and get a skip button in at the beginning. Nobody wants to see the cube rotate three times everytime he enters the site...
Keep it up
I wanted to give a seriously big thanks to the feedback. Especially Laz. on that last one. I'm having the sounds made for me by a techno/emo band that I know. So, I hope to add that soon. The skip button, yes, I need to add that, this is true. It gets a bit irritating watching it over and over. I mean.. hey, I go back and walk through the thing over and over again, I'm getting tired of the cube.
Thanks for the feedback. The load times was something I really worked on. I noticed that a lot of big sites don't really care about the little 56k users anymore, and up until about a month ago, I was one.
I've made extensive use of libraries to do it, which by the way is a huge pain and blessing at the same time.
Anyway, I'll be working on that skip button as you suggested, and I've been thinking about toning down the morphs for the other submenus. Maybe something a little simpler.
Anyway... I suppose I'll see as I get there.
Thanks again,
rush!

;) Yeah yeah it does look sim to 2adv but its still a good professional look and style. And as far as im concerned everyone gets their creative thoughts from something.The people who say the dont then what are they doing at flashkit just donating...YEAH RIGHT..haha Think it looks good bud id love to see the finished product. Add some sound and an intro:)
You'll really think im weird for this one but I feel the text is a bit too small in some areas. I feel the same about 2adv but then again its just my opinion.
Hey, thanks for the thoughts.
I'll be posting an update here in a few minutes... hopefully people will get to take a look at that as well. For the most part the subcategories will have been updated a bit, especially the Clients sub. It has had extensive coding and design.
rush!

i don't think the criticism of 2advanced is based on that it's hard to mimic, but that it's ubiquitous among people beginning to get the programming side of flash down, and now just need new ideas (example: we only really see 2a duplicates among younger independent freelancers...correct me if i'm wrong but i've NEVER seen an established design/ad/pr agency have a 2advanced look)...
it also depends on who you're marketing your site to as well. if you're trying to get clients who aren't familiar with flash and who don't spend time on site check boards and reading the friends of ed books, you're fine.
but walk into a job interview where the art director says, "okay, you've impressed me so far, now you can meet our flash team" and they pull up your site, chances are that they will see the 2a look, know what goes into it, and form their opinions that way.
again, i'm not criticizing you or justifying criticism, just offering a different perspective.
wah wah wah! I wish people would shut the hell up and stop *****ing about 2a! Man you would think people would understand the concept of trends or styles!! Jesus! Anyway, I love you site! very nice, very very very nice! i have nothing to complain about:) can you do a site check for me?

Hey, thanks for the comments everyone. I agree that I am following a trend. I do also agree that my target audience is one that will not see my site as a rip off, as some self-righteous flashers tend to view many sites as.
That being said,
I've posted new stuff into my Clients area, and wanted to know what people thought. If I could get some feedback on that, I would love it.
Thanks to all!

hi there,
really like the site - prefer it to 2A - lurv the logo area on the right!!! - background graphix are super
the whole site has a great feel about it, probably due to the smooth transitions and simple effex like the 3d loading box ... for me, you've hit the colour schemes spot on!
can only see this site getting better and better
good work well done
Cheers
G
Thank you for the kind words there glassjazz. They are very much appreciated. Thanks again,
rush!
hi again,
was looking at your site again -
thinking about the 2 info boxes at the bottom and how they could be brought out a little more ...
1st I thought about using the faded blue rectangle on the logo - what about a similar coloured box as a background to the 2 info boxes?(graphic/wire) - maybe a little more 'faded' (higher _alpha setting) than the logo box, but similar colour would fit in well - NOT on the whole space at the bottom - just a background within the boxes themselves
THEN, I noticed the space below the menu and above the 2 boxes - the bottom of the movie and boxes go right to the bottom of the window - why not bring it up about half a centimetre - about ( ) maybe a little less - just nudge the 2 boxes and grid up a bit ? what do u think?
just thoughts
Cheers
G
ps made a couple of changes to my thread ...
