Ok, first crack at Flash..

[3mpathy]

My first crack at a Flash site..
Would seriously appreciate any comments, suggestions good and bad - Honesty being the key here.
Its my first Portfolio and my first go at a Flash site.
Sort of finished. It just needs some tweeking, spellchecks and some kind of music stop button.

My main worry is the text. I still havn't sussed out the outline text stuff fully so if its blurry, unreadable please let me know.

Loads way too slow. I mean wayyyyyyyyy too slow for the content you have there. It must be the server... I'm on broadband and it took an easy 2 minutes.

I really like it.. once I got in it ;) The idea is great, and for a first site, very impressive. The navigation is a little hard to get, you don't really know where you're going when you think something. Otherwise, its very solid. Just ridiculus load times/ navigation issues.

I thought it might be slow.
Still learning the ways of Flash so the next step (apart from losing the music by popular demand) is optimising it.

This is your first flash site!?
I love it!
Who cares about the loading time!
It's WELL worth it
that's insane...
very nicely done! How much code is in that page >?

[3mpathy]

Theres quite abit of code in there (well for me anyway) .Mostly to get the sliding pages recognised by other buttons and events

although it does load slow, it doesnt load as slow as timmee exagerated. about 15 seconds here.

the site was really cool, something different compared to most sites, I like the style of it.

loading time same as bluegel, about 15 secs

at webprojects the font is not embbeded, same at "print and various projects"

there could be more smoothness in your anims, but the site is really good. like it

a big "whooa" from me, cause it´s your first site...
go on like this.

Cheers for the comments
Cobo thanks for pointing out the fonts that aren't outlined, I'll get onto that.
Would 15 secs load time be acceptable? Just wondering if I could get it down and optimise it more.

I enjoyed checking out the site especially for someone who has just started. I'm still learning myself, so looking at this site inspires me. I like the navigation, and although it may not have "direction" to it, it intrigued me nonetheless...It was almost like you left me "clues" to what you and your site is about.

Thanks for sharing...and the load time was worth it, but it wouldn't hurt to bring the load time up a notch. ;)
