Hey,  
so far so good. i think the colours go well, bit dark for me for they work well together.  
The e in assure in the dynamic text box is cut off.  
I like the tv effect that fades out to show the content in the tv.

Good job,  
V.

Looks really good - i like sites that are quite animated. Interesting…  
But somehow the buttons take time to react - ie your preloaders take time to show up… also maybe you could put some text in the main box after having pushed ‘activate’ i didnt notice the bottom buttons at first (oke i gotta be blind, i know…)  
sound loops get annoying after a while, even when you change them - maybe you could make them slightly bigger in size but more intersting =)

the music is great, but after a while, it get’s annoying. You should have a sound turn-off button.

It didn’t stand out well enough. Most sites go with the convention that works, the jumping sound bars. You should make the roll-over of your music note better, like have it accompanied with text.

it’s not bad. your preloaders really really need fixing. they appear when they’re already half way through loading by the time they appear. when I was first clicking on the buttons I thought you hadn’t added any functionality to them yet (i.e the site was unfinished). This wont be acceptable to a client. if they think it’s unfinished cos it takes a long time to load… they might just leave ☹

other than that, it’s good work. just need to fix those 🙂

you’ve got some funky shape that i don’t think is supposed to be there on the top-left of your .swf!

i think that while the design is decent, you could have made it look a little cleaner. your shapes look quite blurry and so does your text as well.

flash sometimes anti-aliases vector shapes in a weird way, and it ends up looking like this. consider making your shapes in photoshop or fireworks then importing them into flash to get around this.

when it says activate on the splash page, could you kinda make it more obvious that the user is supposed to click on there?? just something little to tell the user that’s the door to the site.

otherwise, i love the design. breaks thru the clutter.

lol, dont worry, I think you’ve only done it three times or something (once you spelt asphalt, ‘ashphalt’ methinks, gg ;)). Dont worry about it, I’m just glad someone is finally using the ‘affectionate form’ 😉

the color scheme is really good, but the layout lacks something. also, in the about section, the pic of you is really blurry. keep working, its a really good start.:thumb:
