Nope, afraid itâs just a blank white page for me too. The page title âThe Porcupine Studiosâ loads, but nothing else.

[http://www.freewebs.com/nicochel/portfolioCompilationswPreloader.swf](http://www.freewebs.com/nicochel/portfolioCompilationswPreloader.swf) works fine itâs the swf path from the source code⌠which is easy to see why the page doesnât load since itâs not properly embeding the swf.
I didnât get to see the actually site since it took a decade to load up, but the front page looked semi-promising

takes ages too load, are you using external swfâs or is everything stored in one?

ok, its loaded so here are my thoughts, its a good idea but need some improvement such as the background I dont like the plain black, also in the portfolio etc etc, when you click drawings you get a forward and back button but no close so you have to click on portfolio again.

I agree with the evil drummer, the black background feels very wrong.
And also that when you click portfolio there is no back button. At first I didnt find the portfolio, I pressed portfolio PROFILE at first, after a while I found it.
Also, I think it looks kinda wrong with the picture of you sitting in what looks like to be a basement with an laptop alone, with the text âWebsite developer \* Graphic artistâ etc. Looks really serious đ

Unfortunately it takes a long time to load. Iâm on a pretty decent connection (10 MB) too. I reccomend seeing about splitting up the content into individual external SWFs and external images that get loaded in when accessed. I know it might be tricky to figure out if youâre more of a designer than a code developer but tutorials on kirupa and elsewhere should help. Its something Iâm going to have to consider too.
The actual site itself is ok though and I see the theme youâre trying to put across. A close button as said would help. Plus you might want to use a different colour or font for the buttons, as they kind of get lost on the page. I also think the actual size of the portfolio images is a bit too small to see the detail, itâd be nice if when you clicked on them, they popped out at a bigger size (with a close button). Websites section doesnât load yet (I guess that ones not finished yet?).
I think, considering the theme, a wood texture/pattern might work really well instead of the plain black one. Like pages strewn across a desk.
Overall though youâve obviously put alot of work into it and its coming along. Just needs a bit of a change in technical structure. Good luck.

thank you for all your comment:) i appreciated it, so, hmmm, i understand that it really takes a long time to load. this is my first tme to try using external swfs. can i ask something, how can i tell actionscript where will i put that external swf, i mean, how can i specify the position of the swf. iâll try to change that i promise.đ im used in creating games, and when i create games, all the elements are in one swf. thanks guys:))
