First Flash Site

[RudeBoy]

Hey everybody,

This is my first flash site I did for a Recording studio. I just thought that this would be the best place to get back feedback for the site.

nice one! cool grafics, but buggy!
when this town thing loading was complete I was unable to click anywhere, because the curser changed to a textcursor!
And maybe you should erase that horse sound, or at least turn down the volume! if you first visit a page, you normally appreciate if sounds ar not too laud or aggressive!

but I like the style! the town is cool, especially the clouds! inspired by 2advanced? :D

Thanks, I just updated it. It never used to do that. I'll fix that right away.

The whole site is obtrusive.

[RudeBoy]

What do you mean "Obtrusive?" Please give me a little more.

i guess you try to go with a theme, itz not bad,,, it just seemed poorly lay out.. and animation to me is kinda slow :(

The font is hard to read on buttons.The metallic interface dont fit with the squares in the background. Its also quite messy.

What do you think that I should do, a lot of people here in NY like the wording. What kind of background do you think that I should have? I'm sure that it would be no problem to fix the speed. Do you have a better way that I can do the navigation?
I'm all ears.

To keep the font and readabilty you should use more contrast between the font and its background. The metallic things go from dark grey to white which makes it hard to read ( a little depending on horizontal or vertical writing ).

Button exclusive ( I had to read it 3 times) and entertainment is almost unreadable.

For buttons made in photoshop they are a little bit to simplistic to my taste, especially since Flash has such a great gradient tool ( although not a outer bevel tool ).

I should also mention a thing that stands out (in a good way and should be used more ) its the Splash screen graphic with the knight. That is a great design.But its transparent and stuffed away.

very heavy style but if it's what interests the audience, very good!

maybe if you speed up tha animations, it would look a bit slicker. Eric Jordan said that in an interview. And if you watch good TV commercials, motion is always VERY fast. there's a good reason thay do that :)

Thanks for all of your comments. I will work on these issues and then get back to you guys.
