Hey guys just looking for your comments on this. I built everything here, even the dynamically created color picker. I only used one components with is the scroller. There is only one movie clip on the stage, and everything is created dynamically with XML data.

Very impressive!

The overal vertical size of the page gave me a slight vertical scroll bar. I'm running on a relatively high res (1280x800), so I would recommened trying to knock about 20-30 pixels off.

(if possible) When I open a window I noticed the entire window gave the clickable hand cursor when it should only appear over the drag bar and buttons.

The content and especially use of 3D animation is just amazing.

Usability is immediately apparent and most users will already know how to navigate the windows "look and feel", even mac and linux users wont have a problem at all...but therein is the problem...creativity is not there, but you make up for it with content and skill.

Yes, creativity isnt there but skill makes up for it. I am not to into the big and bubbly look, but thats my personal opinion.

You interactive section is very buggy. When you launch a project it loads a preloader, but the movie starts playing even with the preloader ontop of it still loading. Once the preloader stop loading the box with the content expands double in size and you have to click and drag the box to view the content. Very annoying.

By the way I graduated from the Art Institute in California - Orange County. Same degree but ours is called Interactive Media.
