Re: FLASH: flashed site 4 test

[Laura Mollett]

:We got the project of building this web site a month ago with the request

to

:use cutting edge technologies. We learned of flash then and we just

uploaded

:the new site.


Really nice site. Much better than my first attempts, but oh well, much to

aspire to :). I really like the smooth animations and the turns. Also the

incorporation of the logo design. It seems a shame the 'frames' have

to redraw every time you go back to the main menu, from a secondary

menu, but I don't really know flash well enough yet to suggest if there's

any way around that or anything.


I did notice a couple of things you might want to think about. I

find it disconcerting to have a mouseover that does something big -

rather like it was an on-click. I noticed that right at the beginning with

the 'enter this site' button... I didn't click but just moved my mouse over

the button and it went to the site, and I felt... a little out of control?

You

use the same technique for the 'play' buttons on secondary pages... they

got back to the menu-type page on mouse-over.


The other thing I noticed is that when the site 'reads' the menu to you,

it does it a little too fast. If you look away, you miss something. And

again, I think I might prefer this kind of thing as a mouseover as then

the user feels in control.


Again, super site,

Laura Mollett
