Hello.
I was wondering if I can get some feedback on this newly redesigned site. I'm looking mostly for technical feedback such as cross browser issues and Mac/Pc compatability.
Let me know if you find any problems.
Regards

Here goes!

Checked your site with IE5.5 and NS4.76 on a PC on a 56k dial-up connection (Yeah! I know! Talk to me about it!)...

No major problem! Good downloading time, even on my slow connection! Nice simple design!
I prefer the auto-centering feature of your actual site window with IE... as opposed to the top-left positioning with NS! But in general, performance seems equal on both browsers!
One potential problem... You should shut down the sound on your site when the user hits a link in the portofolio section. Otherwise you have overlapping sounds of both sites as with the Wildphyre site!
BTW, I'm very curious as how you got buttons in a dynamic scrolling text box, if it is a true one... And would very much appreciate it if you could send me the coding and/or .fla of that portfolio section (oldnewbie@hotmail.com).

Lastly, when I check it, the Scottcepada link ended up on a 404!

Good work,
Regards,

ldnewbie

yeh the buttons in the dynamic scroll..how?

Actually, I think what seem to be buttons in the dynamic text boxes are nuthing more than html with an image.
In flash 5 the text box can be set to dynamic with basic html coding included in the external variables file.

So in essence, you can link images in that textbox.

At least that is what I believe... haven't yet tried that out though.

i understand that it is html ..what i didn't know was that flash supported image files through the html..seing that flash only supports limited tags..

To all,

It's not dynamic text being scrolled. It's a loaded .swf file. You cannot load images into a flash movie without generator. It looks like dynamic text (and might even be set to dynamic text) but it is not being loaded into the .swf (checked my cache), so it's not behaving as dynamic text. The ninja is incorrect, and you are correct, virt. However, I understand where the ninja is coming from. It would be nice!

Hey there.
Blended is right, it's not dynamic text being scrolled.
It a basic MC that scrolls the text with buttons.
For a small text section like this, I felt there was no need for a dynamic text component.
Thanks everybody for checking out my site.
If somebody has a MAC please check my site on the MAC.
OLDNEBIE thank you for that music on/off tip, great idea.
BTW how do you center the window in Netscape, so it'll appear centered just like in IE.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
PS The Scott Cepada link is broken because I just got finished redesigning their site.
Thank you.

Take out all the extra spaces you have in the left & top attributes in your OpenFlashWindow function:

...

<p align=&quot;center&quot;> </p>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;> <a href=&quot;#&quot;  onClick=&quot;OpenFlashWindow('one.swf','flashwindow',
'toolbar=no,location=no,status=no, left = 120, top = 185,menubar=no,width=800,height=425')&quot;
onMouseOut=&quot;MM_swapImgRestore()&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;MM_swapImage('Image3','','4.gif',1)&quot;> 
  <img name=&quot;Image3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;3.gif&quot; width=&quot;102&quot; height=&quot;31&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; hspace=&quot;81&quot;></a>

old sorry to bother ya, but do you know if flash has a limit to a text file that can be loaded and scrolled dynamically?..i have a text file that i'm loading and it's huge..cuts off about a fourth of the way down the text..won't load any more to scroll..

leaving me puzzled..i can go in and break it up and make it four different text files but would be easier if i could load it all at once..have a look if ya want..

gardening button..see where it stops..then have a look at gerdening.txt..see how big it is..

any ideas?

It seems you have an & after Quick... Where it breaks off!
I think the & is used to identify a new variable in these Flash text files. You can try removing it or try to add an escape \ character in front like so Quick \& Dirty...

As a return favor, if it does work out, could you send me that Homeowner Links .fla. Trying to help someone else and this might work for him!

Thanks Oldnewbie.
Do you know if there is anyway to automatically center a pop-up flash window no matter what the monitor's resolution setting is?
Thanks in advance.

Working on and off on my own template, which should detect browser also (including that crap AOL browser!)... Will post it when I'm satisfied with it!

Meanwhile check some of these:
