Another School Project: website intro, would love to have some feedback

As it turns out, I’m posting rather oddly today. I usually wait to showcase something for a day or 2, but I guess I’m in a good mood. (-:

I am also in a very amateur web design class. And by that I mean the teacher, who’s very illiterate when it comes down to web design at all, didn’t even apply for the job position at my highschool. :stuck_out_tongue: So, after reading the Frontpage 2000 book first semester and messing around with Photoshop, she had us each make a website based on our favorite movie of all time. Since she noticed that I had considerably more skill than the other people in my class, she wanted my to do the home page. It’s purpose is to link to everyone else’s site, including a preview picture and some information on the site and movie.

My idea was to make a projection on a stage sorta theme, with a movie reel in flash that can be used to link to everyone’s site. I spent quite a long time making it integrated with XML, so I’d only have to touch that and not the FLA. With that, I give you the following:

NOTE: flash section does not have a preloader yet b/c it’s only a template:

I would like some comments and critiques! Thanks.
