I try recusing from critiquing flash sites. Nothing against them, especially those implemented well. I just stay away from them purely on a poor usability standpoint. Having said that, I would like to tip my hat to you for being very creative. Not everyone can pull off a cool-looking flash website, not to mention a cross-browser one. Look at www.akwaibomstategov.com in both IE and FF to see why I think that some flash "gurus" should be shot at sight I like the "v2" as well. One thing though - under "Illustrations" in your "portfolio" section - when I clicked on each illustration, it took me to a "404" error page. Also, the flash file is pretty large, but I guess there isn't much you can do about that in terms of optimization. See, and I know it may sound archaic, but I still have a 56K modem at home and it hurts me to sit and wait for a large page to load. In your case, a whole 85 seconds. If you could fix at least the former though, then I would say your redesign is 100% certified |

my2cents: @My2cents, Never ever ask people to visit that site again, was the site setup for free or what? So many images that won't load and an excellent time waster. |

@ my2cents, thanks for the reply. as for the major flash file, true, not much could be done concerning optimization. Perhaps i'll replace some of the slides i used. I just tried the illustration section. worked well here. could you give me more info? (flash version, browser you were using when the bug occured, etc) Thanks a lot for the feedback |

Afam, LOL. I will try to reduce my references to that site. I just like using it over and over again to drive my point home on bad flash implementation As for what the site costs, I don't know, however I was recently asked to put in a Request for Proposal for a site redesign, so we shall see. Point noted sha. WebMonk (y your name reminds me of kung-fu film, I don't know ), Steps to reproduce: Home page -> Portfolios -> Illustration I use Firefox 1.5.0.9 and I have Flash 9. My PC runs Windows XP. Specific URLs: http://www.semeonline.com/images%5Cartwork%5Cgrave_poster_final.jpg http://www.semeonline.com/images%5Cartwork%5CA-Knights-Journey.jpg http://www.semeonline.com/images%5Cartwork%5Ctale_of_two_sisters.jpg Basically, all 3 illustrations are "404", but just wanted to provide you with direct links. If my suspicions are right, then it has to do with "%5" used in place of "/". As I nod to the beats of your website , I suggest you either encode the URLs or replace the "%5"s in your fla files. I hope this helps and let me know what you found out. |

Fixed the bug, a relative link URL conflict with the forward slash "/". Made it an absolute URL. It's working now. Thanks for the info and feeling the beat |
