Ok... well, it is still coming in now, and after 87%, nothing has
happened. Oh, ok, there is the sound... you might want to either make
the sound clip a bit shorter and loop it, or (if you want a smaller file
size), reduce the sound quality so it loads faster.
Maybe use shape hints for your shape tweening?

Man! I clicked on enter and it loaded a regular website with a
different URL? a 755K intro to a site is too big. For a whole site I
certainly have no real quams, but it was too large, especially since it
was 4 and a half minutes before anything happened.

Are the images you used vectors or bitmaps? If you used bitmaps,
you might want to try creating them in a vector-based program so the
file size is smaller. Yeap, they are bitmaps, even the text, since I
just saw the word "style" float by with a square mask on it. Do it in
flash, man, and your file size will come down dramatically. It is a cool
idea, but you either have to make it smaller or add more meat to it now
in order to make it viable for a viewer.
