This is my very first post on Kirupa - or anywhere else for that matter. I’ve spent the past few months living on the tutorial pages and being a total forum voyer. At present I have a site that is live but still needs alot of work. It’s bitmap heavy so if you’re on dial up you’re JWF.

This site has a main swf (logo, border, navigation, background and audio player) that loads external swfs into a container with a midframe transition method. Thanks to Kirupa, Senocular, LostInBeta, Voetsjoeba and a host of others for getting me this far with their tutorials or forum posts.
I would welcome any advice, critiques or ideas you have for this site. The following are some issues I am working on:
-redundant transitions (same left to right sweep of the jeans)
-unnatural tweens (haven’t tweaked the easing)
-large file size (have optimized bitmaps individually)
-preloaders on external swfs
-redundant bitmaps (jeans images on main swf AND external swfs)
-would like to edit the content text dynamically through XML
-It is currently resizable but I would like to set a minimum size that it can be scaled
Thanks for your time
