My Flash Portfolio Site

[Ian Micallef]

So I spent weeks creating my new flash website. It is finally done and can be seen at www.Imicallef.com. Tell me if you like it and if you would make any changes.

I took out the intro screen (despite it having a skip intro button), because I hear a lot that they are not recommended to have. Also, I'd like to lower the load time if anyone has any tips on that.

Thx!

Well the HTML of the site is a little weird. It could be really simple, but you made it kind of complicated. Also you have a table that's 1496px wide when the flash embed is only 900px wide. You just need to center it and that's not the way to do it. Use CSS to align center or just use a <center> tag.

Anyways, the flash piece itself looks pretty good. There are a few little bugs having to do with the gallery especially when it's filtered.

I think there are a lot of ways to cut down on load time. 4.9MBs is a bit big, but not terrible considering, I guess. It only took me about 5 seconds to download it. If you really wanted to cut down on the load time you might compile with the "Compile With Size Report" option turned on to see what can be cut out and loaded separately (on the fly when it's needed) or just further compressed.
