Hi David.


>From what I could see, this was very impressive design. Well-integrated

visually and sonically.  Unfortunately it crashed my Netscape 4.5 twice

(got to the display of the robot-created buttons, then I got the hand

cursor everywhere on stage but Netscape was frozen). I then looked at it

from cache, which got me as far as clicking on Bio, then nothing happened

(perhaps it needed a load Movie?). Went to Port (whose meaning eludes me),

then back to Main, then clicked on another item.


Transitions, although beautiful, are impractically long, especially after

seeing them once. Were I a typical visitor (in fact, were I myself, which I

happen to be), I wouldn't bother clicking on a third item after watching

the robot eat the buttons twice. Perhaps you could have a MC keep tabs on

this, and drop some of the transition after the first time through?


Although I can't identify the cause of the glitch in Netscape (MIME, of

course, is fine), I'd still refer to this as a great example of a Flash

interface, just for the beauty and complexity of it.  Good work.
