OMG that site is awesome ! Great work dude ! It looks really nice :thumb: ! Some things I noticed:

  1. The copyright text at the bottom is blurry.
  2. Started the "intro" section …
  3. 1 = latest artical
  4. The number “1” in the news section stands too much to the left.

That’s about it. Again, amazing site ! May I ask one thing, how did you get the pixelfont unblurred ? And if you pull your text from a MySQL database, I’m even more interested :slight_smile:

Great web site. when this is done, it should be entered into the SOTW. i love the transitions to.

Great work!
:TB:

Ahhh yes didnt noticed some of those errors thanx. Thanks for positive critiq too :slight_smile: i’ll enter the site of the week when its done :smiley: to awnser Voetsjoeba question, about pixel fonts, to get them unblurred sometimes I used whole numbers sometimes I did’nt (thats because the alpha script causes font bluring). As for MYSQL, im sorry but I don’t use it, instead I pull data from XML files, its a lot easyer. :wink:

Thanks again Let you know when more sections are done :smiley:

looking good so far, i would consider a cool backgroung pattern for that site but not in that color, maybe something to contrast like beije and black.

some of the fonts are not positioned in the right spot because they appear blurred.

transitions are very good so far, but i would probably speed the frame rate or make them shorter.

the navigation buttons don’t seem to have the same space between all of them and the rollOver animation could be cooler, although the one you have is not bad.

overall, for what i can see so far, you’re doing great, keep it up;)

I am wondering about how I can see the font the way it is without me having it installed. Usually, you have to break apart text for users to see it the way you want it to, because when users don’t have the font installed that you use, they’ll see the text in Arial or any other standard font. You didn’t break it apart, I don’t have the font you used installed, you pulled it from an XML file and it is perfectly sharp ! How !? :slight_smile:

Hmm yer im working on a pixel background, I guess i should expand the colour scheme to something more contrasting (thanks for that)as for the FPS its running at 50 its a LOT faster on my other intel pc (which is 800mhz 128RAM) computer :s. Ohhhh about the pixel font, they reason it isnt verdana or anything like that is because i’ve embedded the text on every font box :smiley:

But … that makes it blurry, no ?

11

Depends really if the test box X Y co-ord are say 123.4 and 123.4 it would be blury because they arnt whole numbers, if x=123 and y=123 then it would be nice and sharp:D(also the movieclip which contains the textbox would have to be placed using whole numbers

12

I know, I’ve tried everything but it still was blurry. Meh … Thanks :slight_smile:

13

:S post your FLA and ill try and sort it out for you, are you taking data from xml too?

14

No, from MySQL … but that doesn’t matter, it’s just that everytime I embed a font it gets blurry, even when on whole numbers …

15

hmmm have you got scripts which chage the alpha? because i had the same problems no matter what i did the text was always blury but i fixed it in the end by removing the alpha script on MC the text box was in. Is your MYSQL thing online at the mo, ill take a look at it if you want.

I had this problem once. Try this it worked for me. I found out that when I resized my text fields it was causing it to become blurry (using pixel fonts, dynamic, and embedded). I was resizing after I created the text field. I deleted the text field and created a new one and before you click out of the text field and have everything you need in it resize it then. Another thing I was doing that caused problems was resizing the text field using the Width/Height properties after it was created - really caused my fonts to be blurry. Try that out and hope it helps…
