that's a really nice professional swish movie u made there guy... i like the bars and how the page appears in sequence. I have a question though, where did u get those cool sound effects?
Right here at flashkit :D
Overall nice looking site. Looks like you put some hard work into it. Some things to look out for though.
1. Had to much of a 2A feel to it for my taste.
2. Speed up the masks a bit, look a little choppy.
3. Watch what kind of music you use. Some music people may not appreciate it and it might border on copyright infringment.
Too much of a 2a feel? ... I don't think my site looks anything like 2a. And didn't you once rip 2a with your site?
How did you prevent those lines on your interface from getting blurred?
btw great site but the sounds are a bit too much
Which lines?
WOW you are a very tallented individual! I am impressed with your site. I wish I was even close to as good as you with graphics...this will change...taking classes for graphics.
OK now about your site! Great job! there are 2 things that I did not like about the site...first Great sounds and great interface! however the sounds got irritating after the 10th click.
Now with your pics I noticed that in your portfolio you set the window to open pre sized..Great! I would recomend doing it with your photos as well. The worse thing that you can do with your site is cover it up with a new window...yes one can close the window and B back on your site BUT some peeps are clueless! If you open it in a presized window (to your photo specs) I think that this will give your site and even more professional feeling.
Great job! I really like the site!

the lines that make the interfaceQuote:

They shouldn't be blurry. Some of them were made in Photoshop.
I like you web site it is very professional site...
reagrds
I love the impact of the intro morphing into the main page nice work..
And by the way Firefuze What loop is that playing on the main page???????
The first one is called Sympathy by Elixatek, and the second one is called Digital Elements, I can't remember by who. I got them from mediahead.com
really nice :)
but i think it would go cooler if you turn the speed on, higher framerates or go smoother, just my little opinion.;)
The reason I haven't posted a reply is because...
For the first time, I dunno what to say. :p
It's great. Really great. :D
P.S. So is this thread going to the
"longest thread in SWiSH Sitecheck" like
the last one? :p (I hope so. hahahah)
Firefuze knows what I mean.
I really like the intro to the site. I wanted to know how you made the letters kinda fuzzy to where it looks like they're glowing.

Imported into Swish as images.
:)
Bravo...
I've been using swish since early 2003 and I have alot to learn...I could probably learn it from you! www.impaktdesign.net
Take it easy and keep up the excellent work

Hey, maybe you should set up a new thread on your site too. :DQuote:

Good site by the way!
Cheers,
Venio
I own www.EliteGamersWorld.com (still in development) I was wondering if you made those graphics on your forum banner, and at the end of your intro.. I need a graphics designer, all i do is flash and templates... so get back to me if interested... cause i aint got the time to learn all that graphic design shiet got 2 many clients to work on.
ps: sites pretty good however if i were u i would add a little more 3d to it.... what i mean is give it a more textured feel rather then just a blank background divided up with lines supporting your navigation and content areas.. A good job though one of the better sites ive seen in swish.
very professional work.
hey i was wondering how you made your audio bar. I like the quality and the time it takes to load. I need something like this on my site.
great design :)
i would speed up the load times if i were you, i'm on dial-up and it seemed to take forever to load.
Yea. Firefuze bases most of his work onQuote:

a lot of raster images (photoshop).
I'm guessing that he believes his target
audience will be on broadband.
If you take a look at his portfolio,
you'll notice that it's filled with movies
qwith HUGE file sizes.
DSI.STUDIO_LorD - Yes i do make my own graphics. If you want me to make some custom stuff for you, just use the contact info in my profile.
r-exp - The audio player is just a bunch of streamed mp3's that load into different levels. It's not that complicated.
As far as the filesize, it's only like what... 700kb? That's nothing really. On broadband that's like 5 seconds? Seriously, i think everyone should have broadband right now, it costs just about the same as 56, so i dont know why people still use 56k.
As far as the site... I havn't updated it or anything. But i'm making a new site! It's currently in development and I'll get it done this month! (hopefully) Though it's going to be Flash MX and Photoshop. I'll also try and squeeze in a new intro that'll be mostly 3ds Max. The intro is gonna be around 5mb so 56k'ers beware!
And I forgot to add when i do release the next version I will upload the .SWI for v2!
yeah i figured everything out already hehe. :D
Firefuze, dang... It sounds like the new
version is going to be great!
Looking foreward to the next version as well.

Cos stupid parents wont pay that tiny bit extra for much much faster internet :(Quote:

Anyhoo, yay it's arrived! :D
Melikes, nice clean style and everythign good bar a few iddy biddy bits.
I'm on an 800x600 res and I can't actually get to the bottom without highlighting the whole thing, which is kinda awkaward.
It didn't all load properly, it would on a broadband connection but on my 56k the majority loaded fast then took a few more second for the buttons to actually do anything etc. Not very long at all really but when your in such suspense!:D
Now posistive! :D
Nice colours and very clean.
Nice sounds.
That little clock is really cool! Nice idea!
and the usual cool graphics :)
P.S, sorry I've not been to your forums for a while but I've been real busy with A levels and stuff. Excuses excues :D
Availability is still a primary concern
also support.
I had dsl 3 months on then 1 off
4 months on then 1 off 2 months on then
3months off.
Very nice, clean page. My only complaint would be that the beeping noise is too frequent, think that has already been brought up, though.
I've been scouring this and other boards to learn as much as possible. This is a great example of what a flash site should look like, can't wait for the next version-
-eisenreich
heh, theres actually people looking forward to the next version! thats something new :cool:
I don't know when I'll be done the next version. I started working on the layout in photoshop but i've been posting alot of graphics on deviantart so that i can improve and get recognized out there. And now that school is starting I dont think it will be anytime sooner than a month or two.
Aside from all the kudos (which I agree with), there are a few things which are probably typos:
1. In the main window, you repeat the word 'more' - "This is where you can learn more more about me..."
2. In your portfolio window, it initially comes up with "pick a section from the right". I believe you mean "from the left".
3. (personal preference) On the audio bar, you give seven options, but, like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, you don't know what you're gonna get until you pick one. Maybe you could display what the selection is on rollover.
Watch the music tracks, it's not real professional to have objectional material playing.
Listing the site requirements doesn't accomplish anything, try using Flash detection.
