Looks good man, the only thing is the framerates seem to be a little low. What do you have them set to?

Harm-Less In reply to One3Creations [2008-06-12 21:04:20 +0000 UTC]

At all time? Or just a second or 2 every 60 seconds? (thats the time the BG changes image what takes a lot of processing)

Because its smooth all the time normally (30 FPS)

And you're the first who mentioned this.

One3Creations In reply to Harm-Less [2008-06-12 23:10:29 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, well it might be the loading of the background images or something. Do you prefetch the images and then cache them?

Harm-Less In reply to One3Creations [2008-06-13 09:10:35 +0000 UTC]

It loads an external image (800 x 600), after its loaded it converts the image to BitmapData and makes it full screen. Also a blendMode (overlay) is used to make the image green.
But ones that is done, it no longer uses any performance.

Hmm on my home PC everything seems to move a little smoother. Only thing I suggest is the fading in of the objects, decrease the total actionframes used for the transition so the content comes into view a little faster

It looks simple and professional.
The link reveals a more intricate overall design, which is very nice.
The only turnoff :the bright green is difficult on the eyes after a while, but looks great non theless

It might be funny if there is something like a "pick a color" box, so you choose the color you like.

website is designed to be visited as full screen. If you escape the full screen, logo on the top of the page comes over the text! You can keep the content text under the logo on risize function.

Harm-Less In reply to killustrator [2008-06-12 15:59:26 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I know what you mean.
I thought it looks nice on the "Projecten" (portfolio) page. But indeed, not on the pages where it lays on top of texts.
I'll update it.

Thanks for noticing.

killustrator In reply to Harm-Less [2008-06-13 01:21:36 +0000 UTC]

you're welcome.
check this code below and it will help you!

mytext.onResize = function(){
//mytext._y= ......
//mymenu._y=.....
//mymc._y=.....
}
Stage.addListener(mc);.

Really nice work, nice and simple yet functional

Only thing im not keen on are the links in the left hand corner, just not sure what it is i dont like about them

Harm-Less In reply to XxX-SXE-XxX [2008-06-12 14:13:21 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, that was the idea

About the menu, maybe they should be more in the picture. Is that what you mean/think is missing?

XxX-SXE-XxX In reply to Harm-Less [2008-06-12 14:23:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah i think so, it looks fine on the top screen but on the bottom two it seems to be in to much space.

Harm-Less In reply to XxX-SXE-XxX [2008-06-12 16:18:04 +0000 UTC]

That's why I'm so cool, I can do magic!!
I can flood menu items, waooh.

Anyway, I understand what you mean now. But I'm not sure if I can fix it...

Thanks for the comments.
