any advice on my site?

Hi everyone,

I consider you guys a lot more "actionscripty" than myself lol. Could you look my site over and make some suggestions? Maybe if you have a way of getting the text files to be fully justified...I'd sure appreciate it.

here's the link:

I really like the site and your port. but i see overoptimization as a common trend in your work. It's to the point that the quality of some of your images detracts from the quality design. The optomotrist's website is key examples of this. It loaded very well even on my dialup...I would have waited a couple more seconds for decent images... Just my .02 :shrug:

Hi guys,

thanks for getting back so soon. It's really the first time that I've ever used PNG files (for the transparency option) When I brought the PNG files into Flash, the eventual exported swf file became huge! So since downloading time is important I tried the short-cut.

Is there a way to bring in PNG files without there being a really long downloading time?

type to you soon!

the main question is: is there a need for png´s ?

most of the images i use are jpg´s, and gif´s for the need of transparency. those file formats are much smaller in size than a png

yeah but gifs are only made of 256 colors... I've seem images broken up quite a bit with such a limited range...so pngs are the next best bet. :-D

thanks

The main image is very pixellated. And the menu text could go down about 2 or 3 pixels. Otherwise, pretty good. Keep up the good work.

Autoresize on window size actually is one of the things in flash that sucks T__T

Imho, and your portfolio looks really good, u should give the movie a defined size, and embed it in an html document.
