Wow, that's dedication. Good test, nice results ;)

Ummm, Well, the main mousejam QT3 page is just 

<http://www.bisset.u-net.com/mousejam/>. Between the text and the 

movie are a bunch of links to duplicate pages with various 

combinations of QT3 streamed audio and Flash and QT4 streamed audio.

Yeah, the slides are just jpegs on individual pages in a frameset 

with refresh tags, each image preloaded on the previous page. I 

really must make a proper QT slideshow., and integrate it with the 

music. Unlike most of you guys I guess, my priority is to get the 

music running fast and smooth. The graphics take second place.


Thanks for visiting though. glad you liked it :)
