Fully complete with my own fixes :slight_smile: whatcha think?

(i am indeed trying to figure out how the hell to get the scroll-wheel to work for the biography scrollbar, I am a noob and my developer left me with this :frowning: and trying to make the beginning slideshow images sort to random so the same image doesn’t show up all the time. )

The BIO text is too small, it kill my eyes.
You got two options for that scroll bar you could just use a component and skin it alternatively using your own scrollbar you could do something like this.

Listen for the MOUSE_WHEEL event and then scroll the TextField accordingly


myScrollPane.addEventlistener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, onMouseWheel, false, 0, true);

private function onMouseWheel(event:MouseEvent):void {
     //scroll TextField
}

This is another approach rather make the TextField mouseWheelEnabled and listen for scroll events then adjust the scroll bar accordingly.


myTextField.mouseWheelEnabled = true;

myTextField.addEventListener(Event.SCROLL, adjustScrollbar, false, 0, true);

private function adjustScrollButton(event:Event):void {
     //adjust the y position of the scroll bar to reflect the amount of text scrolled
}

I think the above is right and nice work

The font is at 8px any bigger to me it just looks rubbish, I’ve even looked at other sites using pixels fonts and they are easily readable, :frowning: I need to figure out an alternative method on the font perhaps spacing would do the trick, thanks for the scrollwheel thing I’ll try and pull it off cos I’m not much of a hot head in flash really just learning off the FLA my developer left me with.

I really love the music. Sorry I can’t post a more detailed review, but I’m in a real hurry, I will get back to this, but at a cursory glance, it looks swell.

Cheers!

The pixel fonts feel a bit stale in this. Maybe because it’s been done soooooo many times on a dark layout that it’s not so refreshing?

I think a less pooey yellow would be in order. Something more tangy would be excellent.

The photo slider would be nicer with arbitrary controls to just flick through next and previous pictures ( for people too lazy to scroll)

^It doesn’t look like a template so don’t care what he said.

Nice work, One small thing in the title of your web site… double spaces are still going to read as one and thus your title looks like on long word.
