Very nicely done and creative :D

judging from the speed and interactivity it seems to rely heavily on ActionScript. I think you should do somthing about the first preloader that has just numbers on it, give it more action.

For the rest, your website ROCKS!!!!

Thank You.

Yes, the web site was all done with actionscript. I used some functions and prototypes and also some classes for preloaders and movements.

In my opinion it would be impossible to create such interactivity and keeping a good speed without actionscript so i used it i 95% of the web site features.

Cheers,
Miguel

Hello,

when navigating in my web site, did somebody had any problem with finding which images have links to sections?

Does anybody thinks each image should also have a label or it's quite easy this way?

Thank You,
Miguel

There is nothing wrong with your website. The person that found it dark had their computer monitor brightness turned down. I had the same problem with my website and it was because someone had their brightness turned down.

All the images when you rollover them say at the top which section you want to see. Why sould each image have a lable? I found it easy to navigate and read. I told you, your website ROCKS!!

Hell yeah the site rocks! vintage hehehehehe....
too dark bout the pic ?? ehh maybe thats the idea of it huh :)

PS: the "explored percentage" that idea i saw it before someother fella is doin that as well.

I agree with Warrior on this one, a dark site has nothing to do with whether its good or not though, its all personal preference. I like it though, great site. A little hard to fathom at first,but once you get the hang of things, its great. Look at Slayerment's site (http://www.slayerment.com) to see how to make a dark site really work... (I'm not sure if its up, he said he was changing hosts on AIM*

Thanks Guys,

I had 2 or 3 complains that the web site was dark but i tested it in 5 different screens and it was really ok.

And i didn't want to make it ligher as it would completly destroy the design and it looks.

Now i am trying to figure where i will put my logo in my web site. I know my logo is in the entry page but i think maybe i should have it inside the web site to. I will need to find a place where will not destroy the design.

What do you think of replacing one of the square images with my logo which is also a square?

Thanks Again,
Miguel
