    I'm somewhere into our new website, and I'd like to get some feedback. Some buttons work, some dont (just for your information) Be kind, I'm quite new to this.

    A very nice site design that leads the eye to where it needs to go. Well spaced out and easy navigation.

    My only suggestion is to make each major section look slightly different so that the user knows they've changed location. I know you've marked it under the menu with an arrow, just something else would help out.

    Nice. I'd speed up the frame rate quite a bit.

    What frame rate should one use?

    How does the frame rate affect performance on slower computers?

    Good effort! I like what I see thus far

    Minor quibble - the meun text, I think it would look slicker if you used a sans-serif font a la the rest of the typography on your site.

    Don't think framerate really makes that much of a difference on slower machines. If you're site is going to chug, it'll chug at any framerate.

    resolved

    I guess you're swedish, as well as I am, but it's better to keep it at the forum language.

    First off it's a very good, clean site. The only thing I object about is that the button text probably is set to dynamic and I can't see the real font. The best way is to either do it static, if it's too blurry then you can try either a true pixel font or a bitmap.

    Otherwise keep up the good work and Lycka Till.

    very clean indeed... as earlier posts suggested... i loved the scheme.... it really presented me with a couple of new ideas...

    font suggestion by Parsonsgfys is bingo... verdana aint bad either...

    About the fonts

    As a few of you have pointed out, the menu font is a problem. I guess most of you see Times New Roman. It should be Eurostyle extended, but I haven't managed to embed it...Must an embeded font be static (then I know what's wrong)?

    Many thanks for your imput - the idea is to keep it quite simple, but still good looking.
    Regards

    Very clean, very intuitive for use. I would agree with the frame rate I usually use 25 as a good average.

    It will be good to get your links into the site and not in a popup.

    Also the scrollbuttons only scroll with a click... Personally if the text isnt "dragable" I prefer a simple mouseover for scrolling text. Thats just personal preference though.

    How do I do that? Right now what it say is : 'flash/fosforos.swf','Phosforos','width=780,height=420'
    What can I add to put the window in the middle?

    Try this:

    in the head area place the following code
    Code:
    <script language="JavaScript">
    <!--
    
    function popup(file, title, w, h, scroll) {
    	var n1 = '/' + file;
    	var winw = (screen.width - w) / 2;
    	var winh = (screen.height - h) / 2;
    	winprops = 'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+winh+',left='+winw+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resize=no,location=no,status=no'
    	win = window.open(n1, title, winprops)
    }
    
    //-->
    </SCRIPT>
    Then in the Flash movie use the following code for the URL:
    Code:
    javascript:popup('YourURL.htm','WindowName','600','400','no');return false;
    peace.

    Re: Hmmm...

    Boyz. Slight hint about fps. Use 21 fps. It gives the best consistency between a pc and a mac. I can´t stress this enough. Otherwise your sites gonna be normal on a pc and superfast on a mac. Or vice a versa. When you play it at 21 fps, it plays at 21 on a pc but 20 on a mac. It´s the only proven framerate to fit both a pc and a mac. Hope this helps...

    ...and remember, caffeine is your friend!

    Yes, you can do the <head> code insert in Dreamweaver using the HTML editor. Just insert the code above between the two <head> tags. Then you will have to change the links in Flash for the URLs using the above URL code.

    LittleNicky78 - thx for the tip!

    a nice clean site... i can't get enough of those... and a faster frame rate is a good idea...

    i had no idea about the pc/mac frame rate issue... wow. and here i am pumpin' out flash stuff at 30fps... oops...

    i really like the devil ears on the 'o' in the "phosforos" logo text... nice touch...

    wait a second... are you evil?
