Hello. I just finished my website (http://jaccra.farvista.net/) , and would like some constructive criticism on it. I just started learning flash, so there are no advanced features on the page... yet. For now I just needed a decent showcase for my hand-drawn and digital art. So let me know what you think. Thanks

I like it. My first reaction was going to criticize the size of certain things, and this and that, but you what? It's different and it works well. I like your sketches as well. Nice site.

(One other thing, a recommendation: Never give a disclaimer like "...first ever attempt at building a Flash webpage" or anything like that on your site. This your portfolio/resume. No need to be humble!)

Nice site.
Creative and fun.
Small suggestion: increase the width of the text box for your loading percentage number, the % sign runs off the edge of the box and is cut off.
Good work.

Thanks for the tips and compiments guys. I might edit that thing about the page being my 1st attempt at flash, but I think it helps explain why it's in the condition its in. If/when I revise it, I might take that line out.

Does anyone else see a problem with the loading graphics? I have checked it on firefox and explorer in different rezolutions, but I don't see any part of it being cut off, so I don't know how I would fix it. On my conneciton the thing goes away soo fast I don't really have time to see it anyway.

Can't see the loader either, but have you tried "show streaming" (in the top menu) when you test your swf's through Flash itself? It can simulate dial-up, thereby giving you time to see what's going on.
