thankyou to all the kirupa posters who answered my many (mostly simple) questions over the last month.

my first site is finished. While not perfect, it;s ok considering I’ve only been using flash for a month and knew nothing about it before.

feedback welcome… [http://www.switchstudio.net](http://www.switchstudio.net)

also like to know the best way to get my site on a couple of search engines. Not after major exposure but links to my name etc…

i’ve read the article in the tutorials but no clear details on where to go.

thanks.[http://www.switchstudio.net](http://www.switchstudio.net)

Not bad for someone who’s only been using flash for a few months, the site is pretty smooth and well layed out. The only thing that bothered me is why it was sitting at the bottom of the page and there’s an empty space above the layout. Other than that, everything else seems good.

As for your site being searchable on search engines, use meta tags, they look something like this:

```php
<meta name="description" content="description about your site goes here">
<meta name="keywords" content="place some keywords about your site here seperated by comas">

```

Place those meta tags in the head section of your html document.

yeah place it in the head section of the index.html page and no, this code shouldn’t effect the detection script.

Hey victim,

I love your site. I think it is because it is somewhat unique. Your transitions are good and you’ve been hiding your 3D skills. Where did you get your sound effects?

Victim: Don’t autoscale 😱 Sorry, but I can’t read any of your text. I click the buttons and your transisions look nice, but I can’t read anything because it scaled to fit my monitor.

And here is an article Philbert wrote on submitting to search engines. Maybe it can help.

Soulty  
As above…all seems good where i’ve tested it, maybe your screen res or sumthin. and i went to SIT Enmore.

</div>

Autoscale: You have your width and height set to 100% so that when the user resizes their browser the movie resizes to fit.

Given my screen size (800x600) the movie scales down to fit. This makes the text and everything ultra tiny.

Thanks for your input lost… i remeber u helpin me out on a fair few issues over the last few weeks.

</div>

In you publish settings what is your “Window” drop down box set to?

I believe if it is set to “no scale” or something it cuts off anything that is outside the viewable area instead of scaling the movie to fit inside the width and height boundaries.
