Well I don’t know too much about it, but Flash Communication Server is a server-side thing you can install, and it is much more powerful than ASP and PHP I believe. They use it to make the content of their site fully dynamic. You would have to ask one of the server side geniuses here more about how it actually all works (a3, eyezburg, sen ???), all I know is it is powerful, expensive, and almost impossible to find a host who will let you install it 😛 ---

yup… FlashComm kicks butt, but i believe they used Flash Remoting MX for the backend though =) FlashComm is for multiuser apps only, specially those requiring real-time data sharing, and it’s not a substitue for php or asp. I assume they used FlashComm for the “chat live with a sales agent” feature =) ---

lol i know, i just said that they wouldn’t use flashcomm for a backend, but rather flash remoting, they must’ve used flashcomm for the sales agent feature (which is always offline :sigh: ) 🙂 ---

ok, visited 2a again (some bugz dissapeared, but most of them still appear) 1. no progress in preloader (bar or percentage) 2. unfinished animation in buttons (see contact SECTION for example) 3. when clicking on “info request” in Contact section, you see all the fields first, then they dissapear and then there’s the animation… 4. font in input fields is way too small and illegible 5. font in press release is blurry (scroll down to see) 6. when you hit “audio preferences”, you must choose another option - you can’t go back 7. animations in buttons and in player are “jumping” - onrollout effect (i called that cuts", i wasn’t taliking about the sound) (click stop with 1 sec delay to see what i’m babling about) 8. button labell still disappear when you hit them rapidly (see the pic) 9. experiments showing EACH IN BRAND NEW window is annoying 10. you have hand cursor over lteal label on the left only in Contact section 11. what resolution is it made for? 12. hit area for most buttons is twice as the button is… 13. even preloader is slowing down and giving me a slide show checking rest of “bugz” right now oh as for my “archaic machine”: 1,7GHz Celeron 384MB ram ---
