My first Flash Site

[Kin Records]

Hi, i'm in the closing stages of the first site i've built in Flash and could do with a bit of advice...

if you've got a spare couple of minutes have a look at the link below and let me know what problems you encounter (there'll probably be loads coz my coding 'aint exactly great)

www.slater-king.com

thanks

really... i think for a first flash site ... you are the best i've seen... its really simple .... yet effective... lathough i would put a little more graphics to increase the feel... although i didn't find anythign wrong with the animation... although smoother transitions between the pictures would make it pretty much complete... a little loading bar for the pictures... and ummmmmmmm that is about it...

i liked it, but i also think its a bit too springy and your menu items tend to flow almost offscreen.

I think its a fine job. You can possibly make the "window swing" transitions a little quicker or with less "ease in and outs"

thanks for that - glad you liked it...i may well restrict the movement of the options a little to stop them flying round too much...

i tried to get a preloader to work on this but it just won't have it...i posted some questions about it on the actionscript forum but got nowhere with it...the preloader sits there and does nothing for ages and then springs to 100% loaded right at the end. Can't seem to work it out...so that's why the transitions tend to got on a bit in order to kill a bit of time...

anyway, thanks again...

well what you've done is nice, but the frame rate seems incredibly slow, so the animation is not fluid and it lags.

[Kin Records]

Not sure why you'd see it running slowly... there's a ton of code in there cause i'm not the most efficient coder so maybe that's something to do with it but it runs fine on the machines i've tested it on (1.2ghz and 1.8 ghz pcs) although it was a bit slow on the 5-and-a-half-year-old imac... but even a 850ghz pc showed it running acceptably quickly...

thats cool. i checked it again, and now its transitions are much nicer. good job.

very clean, the reebok images are on the disturbing side but the site itself is good, the buttons look good too, i like the bounce and movement of the page

Very nice site - 1 suggestion :::

I see a lot of this. I do not have my windows background color set to white. It is a cream color (easier on the eyes). When your splash page loads, I see a white slater king button sitting on a cream page background. (Did I explain that well???). I'm sure you see it as a white button on a white background because of your windows preference's.

Anyway, you should add the bgcolor="#ffffff" to your body tag, that will fix it..

Great site though - very impressed.

Wow, that is simply the best 'first site' I've ever seen. My commendations on that. That site looks like it could have been made by an experienced flasher. I like the artistry you used in your site (and your buttons) and I can tell that you have some artistic ability. Keep up the good work!
