New Personal/Art/Humor Website

I haven't made the Splash page yet.

It's my first flash website, basically my first major flash project too.

It's incomplete, I also haven't finished making the blog archive (which will use PHP, MySQL, XML, and Flash) and I haven't started making the mp3 player that will go in that bottom box.

Any comments are welcome, including heavy criticism. :biggrin2:

I really do not like websites that open in seperate windows. That is all I have to say about it.

I like it but redirect http://vancrawford.info/ to http://vancrawford.info/website.swf when you go to it.

I also think thats pretty pointless as well, whats wrong with only using the one window?? same deal cept less brain strain on older computers. n less of a pain in the a... ...nd some popup blocking software could not like it(i remember this used to b a problem with some software, not sure about it now).

I had problems embedding the flash in an HTML document--for some people it wouldn't display. I'm using this as a temporary solution--I do intend to have splash page with three options:

HTML
Flash: Same window
Flash: Pop up

or if that's too much I'd probably just go with HTML and Flash: Same window

Are you using dreamweaver MX or something to embed it??

I use dreamweaver 4 (speed n compatibility ;)). i am against flash sites personally and believe they are evil...so i dnt use flash. but here is code that i had dreamweaver 4 create to embed a flash file into the HTML, it may help you. obviously you will need to edit the width n height n stuff. good luck.

Thanks. I used Flash MX 2004 to public an HTML document with it embedded, and then I used Dreamweaver MX 2004 to edit height and some other things. I didn't have a problem viewing it in my browser, but others did. So I'll give what you posted a try soon.
