It's been a while since ive made a completely flashed site and i'd just like to know what you other people think. I just had a crazy idea concept and went with it and this is what i came up with

www.toddbeaz.com

oh and i still need to make a crazy preloader to go with it (which im having trouble with grrr!!)

[feathermax]

Nice one but work on it to make it proffesional

[gasbag15]

onSiteEvent(view){
site = "needs more work";
}

[WSD_Studios]

onSiteEvent(view){
speed = "too slow";
solution = "increase framerate";
}

[dabrewski]

seems to me like it's to "anime"'ish... it's hard to explain heh... but seems more like a jap anime kind of site to me... don't ask me why, because I wouldnt be able to tell ya heh :X


works great though... if it's what you like... then keep it

[ToddBeaz]

whats a good framerate to use?

[gasbag15]

30fps

If(speed < 30fps){
tellTarget(_root.site){
speed = 30fps;
}
}

[Digitalaffexx]

Ya :: 30FPS should be a good frame speed :: your sites nice :: I would give it more depth :: add shadows in certain areas ::

Spent a while looking a blank screen - hate that

Really need a preloader to let users know something is coming, otherwise they will depart. I also found that when you selected from the menu, the transition was extremly slow and not very gracefull. Do you use the ease in/out when tweening? if not, do.

[Urbansory]

Yea, it's VERY slow on my G4 mac. The sound will always play before. As far as the spinning nav, not a good idea, shouldn't have to wait for it to cycle around again, users like instant access.

[ToddBeaz]

i like all the feedback fellas, but if you're gonna say "needs more work" i'd appreciate the specifics. this is my first 'real' attempt at a flash site so I'll need all the help i can get.. and a preloader is on the way. and mannnn i kinda like the spinning nav.. 4 buttons! 8 total 2x each one so you dont have to wait long dammit! haha, any pointers on how to make sure it runs smoother?? cuz it runs friggin slow on this sh**box p3 i have to use to design on!! i cant even see it run smoothly unless its on low quality!! GOD i need a new computer

-tb

send more feedback! this is great!

[Urbansory]

what are you using to make it run? If you have a lot of enterframes going, it will slow down things considerably. If it is a motion tween, I would switch it to actionscript.

[ToddBeaz]

ahhh that must be it. b/c im not savvy in the ways of ActionScript i've been relying on motion tweens and such. man i knew it! i'm not sure exactly how to translate the tweens to AS so if anyone would like to help/explain say 'aye' and i'll post my .fla

Don't alien-ate us mac users.

Or

61.

Don't try 121...
It only goes to 120.

:O)

[Urbansory]

well if you want to learn actionscript, this may be the transition you need. You learn by doing things you haven't, you will learn from your mistakes, and there is always somebody in one of the help threads that can give further advice.
