Last Details - New Web Site. Help me and Check it out

[Gerebeto]

Hello,

i am launching a new web site: http://www.27lamps.com

In this moment i have a few last minute questions:
1. Should i keep the entry page or make an instant redirect if the visitor has flash?
2. How can i determine if a visitor has a specifique flash version? Can i use actionscript? Is there a better way?
3. Should i open the web site in a new and smaller window as i see so many times or displaying it in the same window is better?
4. Do you know any good dreamweaver extension or code for metatags?
5. Can u sugest me any good stratagies for search engines?

I will be happy to receive any opinion or sugestion related to my web site design, speed, etc.

I had a lot of help from people from this forum during the creation of this web site, so i would like to say thank you.

Thank You,
Miguel Moura

P.S: This web site was created using Flash MX.

If U want to use Flash detector, it's better to have an index page, and then the main, like in your case, check it out here

As for the design, it looks nice, but somewhat dark(ish) for my taste, buttons are nice, though browsing through experimental with keyboard is unnecessary, I think, and I got only till C letter...

The site exploration percentage is great, very good idea, that kept me browsing some more.
Preloaders work good, I am on 256k, and it went smooth.
I am sure some of the 56k users will give U feedback also.

All in all, you did a good job, congrats!

Hello,

thanks for your advices. I made allready some changes. However i have one more problem. If you go to my web site http://www.27lamps.com you will see something strange going on when you press the TAB key.

Can you tell me how to disable the TAB key in my web site? I want to disable it not only in the main .swf file but also in all the others which are loaded.

Thank You,
Miguel

tabindex is set like this:

Selection.setFocus("_root.mc_you_want_to_focus");
_root.mc1.tabIndex = 1;
_root.mc2.tabIndex = 2;

etc..

try using some code like this to disable the tab key in the movie:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("listener", 1);
Key.addListener(listener);
listener.onEnterFrame = function() {
_ _ if (Key.isDown(Key.TAB)) {
_ _ _ _ _trace("Tab was pressed!!!");
_ _ }
};
