RE: Suggestions/Critique Welcome

[Jim Beck]

Jennifer... great effort! I agree with other comments that were made - some

of the text came and went too fast. I had trouble reading the smaller red

font (comic? balloon? crazy legs?) especially in front of the silvery

gradient. It streamed well on my 26.4 connection, WinNT IE 4.01. Thanks for

the history lesson!

Hi Flashers,

I have finally gotten brave enough to show you my History of Day Trading

movie that will eventually go on our web site.  Please keep this URL

private.


The movie is located at www.blocktrading.com/new/blockhistory.swf - I don't

have a loading page set up for it yet or any of that stuff.  I just wanted

to get your feedback in terms of general suggestions as to what could make

the movie better.  Keep in mind, I just converted it from Flash 2 to 3, so

the only modification I made was to add some alpha-channel work to some of

the tweens.  When I exported in Flash 3, the nice surprise was that the

output .swf file was about 100kb smaller.  Warning: the file is 585 kb right

now, I assume due to bitmaps and sound.


Please also keep in mind that this is my first major animation project, so

please keep comments in a gentle tone :-)


I realize that I need a "wait for loading" sequence which I will implement

soon.


Thanks for all your help in advance and thanks for pushing the frontier of

animation - some of you flashers are so clever I'm amazed.  And JohnC is of

course an asset!
