thought that maybe there is to much flashing on occasions and visual and interactive took a little while to download maybe a preloader is needed which tells how long is left

but still nice look

First off your friend needs to work on the text, the text in the visual section is larger than the text in the home section, keep it consistent.

Next a preloader for the sections is definitely needed and maybe bump up the fps a lil too.

Also, why is there a empty white box in the bottom right corner? What’s that suppose to be? If it’s not used for anything then lose it, kills the layout.

I thought the animation of the guy walking is cool, I like that and the color scheme. =)

Thanks Pjc4real, I’m a flash newbie, I’m going on my 4th month with flash MX. Besides flash, I used Cinema 4D to make the backgrounds on my site. I also use Illustrator and Photoshop as well. I’m flattered that you hold such high regards to my site even though its nothing compared to 2advanced whom I admire a lot. If you want to be inspired, visit their site and be amazed. =)

OK, first off the good stuff:

I love the walking guy on the homepage (kinda reminds me of the way I draw, so thumbs up there).  
I also like the white, black and red colour scheme. Nice and simple, and works really well.  
Overall it looks good, funky and modern. Well done, keep it up.

Couple of points though, basically in agreement with what’s been said before:

The preloader definitely needs some kind of text / info, otherwise the users are going to wonder what’s going on. I’m guessing this could just be because the whole thing isn’t finished yet.  
And the white box in the bottom right seems to be redundant.

hahah yea, if I can do it, anyone can and I’m sure you will too. Your stuff now isnt bad, it has a lot of potential. My site didnt start out like that over night, it took many hours of planning and re planning. There was a lot of trial and error too and countless hours of sitting in front of the comp cussing like theres no tomorrow. =P

My site is devided up into many seperate swf files. I have the main one load in the beginning and every time you click on something, it loads a new swf into the main movie. You’ll notice that I have a preloader for each section.
