My site redesigned (yet again)
Hehehe..*nervous laugh* okay.. here is my new flash intro.. the old one was around 1400 K, and I hope you will be glad that my new one is 93K.
Okay.. I'd like some suggestions on it.. I plan on making the end more than just an email link, I'm more interested in the intro towards it. Thanks.
Oh, you might need the URL:
Thanks

That is pretty cool!!
However, it is a bit too flashing near the end but the first 30 seconds is great I think. If someone has epilepsy it might make them have a seizure. Also, I saw that the width of the flash was 800. I had about 100 pixels of horizontal scrolling at 800X600 IE 5.0. It would probably show nicely on 800 X 600 at about a 700 or even 750 width. If I am not mistaken I think that a majority of people have 800X600. You might want to take that into consideration.
How did you do the cross hairs?

Thanks for the critique, I will definitly take the width into consideration on my next version of it.
The crosshair was made by an accident.. First, I made a horizontal line motion tween back and forth, to give a more moving effect.. then I added a vertical line motion tween.. thus a crosshair was born.. hehe..

WOW!
I like it a lot
I love the moving figures but I must agree with disaster-master that the flashing may upset some people (maybe you need a warning at the beginning like they do on films!!)

I do like the figures moving but other than that it's pretty boring. I feel like I've seen the same type of thing from every other web deisgner studio flash intro. "The Internet is the future, the future is now", "The Internet is Changing... we are ready"... blah blah blah... boring and meaningless. I do like the part where the list of services moves across the screen. That's okay. Pare it down to that and the moving figures. Lose the flashing black and white stuff. Add some more colour maybe
Personally, I don't think that you should bother with a flash intro unless you can make it really, really impressive. Most people won't sit through it anyway.

I agree with you to an extent, but it seems to do well for them doesn't it? However I can see how it can get repetetive, but I'm planning to market this towards a business audience, not a webmaster audience..
I'm going to really reconsider the black and white.. I'll either change it a little, or replace it with something similiar.
Thanks for the critique.

I am absolutely not a fan of flash "intros" - perhaps because I exist on a dial-up modem and my time is 'valuable'.
A propos of nothing >> http://www.xdude.com/flashed-mar2001.htm is without a doubt the best piece of Flash I've seen. And it's a true story.
