Thanks everyone for their feedback! FlashFish: I donāt think anymore sections on the conveyor belt itself will be added, but new artwork will be added to the portfolios sections - if it getās too much, I will likely stick everything in an archive and just display the latest works. But since Iām slow as molasses, that area wonāt grow too much most likely.
I donāt know if anyone noticed, but I managed to fix the nasty side scroller snag. Now for some reason, the loading text animation wonāt show up!! As old problems are solved, new ones seem to be cropping upā¦
Rennygirl,
I really liked your site. It was fresh and well done. the download wasnāt bad at all with a 56K here. The inside was just refreshingly different. Very nice!

BTW, I have to ask you, is your body really that tiny? Or is it a morphed image?
I mean, if itās that tiny, I am not trying to make you pheel bad or anything or self conscience, but I am curious, ya know?
I really like that site. I was wondering : how did you design it ? Flash all the way down or did you mix pleasures ?? Anyway, that point of view, slightly from above (3 quarters in French, no idea how to say that in English) is a great idea. And that little rolling carpet (???) is definitely the most intriguing thing.

Aside from the imported jpegs done in Photoshop, itās all flash baby! I really have no knowledge in director or any 3d programs to mix in with it. Actually I tried rendering some 3d images in 3D Studio Max, but that just didnāt work out well.
is sound missing from your site or am i deaf btw, the text you (want) to load never showed upā¦Sometimes loading info from a txt file lagsā¦for some reason.
There is no sound Paranoid - Iām not a fan of sound coming from websites since it disturbs the current tunes to which I am jamming to. Plus, I didnāt want to add to the already enormous download.
Yes, I am actually having problems with the text thing (youāll see above that I posted it). The text took a while to load so I added a āLoading Textā anim (to check if the text variables are empty), but it wonāt show up for some reason. I have been trying to fix it, on and off, or weeks!
with your metaphor (machinery, conveyer belt etc) youād be remiss not to add sound iām afraid. For me, sound is one of the things that FLASH exemplefies in the new mediaācreative use of sound.
wouldānt you say that one noticing the lack of sound draws attention to the fact that it may be worthwhile to add it to your site?
I think forgetting sound in flash is akin to using straight bitmap grapicsā¦it defeats the purpose.
But quite a handful of people have told me or responded to a site check thread that they liked that I didnāt a) have a pop-up for my interface and/or b) used sound. But you are right: maybe a ādoingā when a button is pressed or ātingā when content is loaded or ābuzzā when the conveyor belt rolls would be effective. I do want to fully utilize flashās capabilities after all. Iāll look into it as soon as I fix this loading text thing.
using a program such as Soundforge, and export correctly, sounds will barely make an impact. As always you can use shared libraries, in a separate file, downloaded after the main content appears, and link sounds from there. All the best sites in flash do use sound though
The carpet (or conveyor belt) isnāt actually rolling, but the little dashes move along to make it look like itās rolling. Thatās accomplished with a simple motion tween with a guide so that it hugs the beltās surface. Add a couple of rolling wheels and the effect is accomplished!
And ofcourse, the thing rolls on command using the ātellTargetā function.
well an exclllent site a very good job
keep up the good work
by any chance can u guide me as to how can i get the text scroller with the scroll bar can u guide me to some tutorial i am in need of that very badly
Ebu
