Ok! Had another look at it! Another 15 minutes download, because I had emptyed my cache!
Probably is one movie, because of the long download time (it is 3MB in size), but it still could be done with frames, because the logo and menu area, for one thing, don't change. The members' thing, even if it slides out from behind the menu, only occupies what I would call the main display area, and outside of some text sometimes overlapping the logo area, the rest is usually contained in that area. There is the problem of the background picture in the what I would call the menu's frame... But even that I think I could cheat!
As I have told you... It can be done in one big movie! My going against this format (rather than using frames and possibly several movies), was only motivated, in this case, by the long download time (we don't all have cable connections!) and the fact that when these guys want to change a small detail (a link or whatever!) they'll have to redo the whole thing (risking to f... up parts they didn't want to change), rather than just adding a button or changing one link in the menu's movie, changing the logo's movie, one of the links in the popup windows, or even one of the items in the main display area! Then, they have to upload the whole thing again!
It's really up to you! I much prefer the way you're doing things with your test page. A little more polishing and you'll have a great site... And I won't have to wait 15 minutes to find that out! My guess is that they're loosing a lot of viewers the way they're doing things!
