Re: FLASH: Feedback for Wm3 ... http://www.webmedia.co.nz

Hi Matt,


First, I must say that you have done an awesome job with pushing Flash and

the site reflects your technical expertise with the program.  However, as

other people have said, I found myself almost immediately lost confused on

what to do next...


One suggestion would be to concentrate more of the user interaction to a

more centralized location on the screen - be it in a specific corner or

side or another area.  Personally, with so much interactivity located at

esentially every corner of the screen, I was a little overwhelmed at how

much your site could do.  Not that having that much interaction and

functionality is bad, just that it created a confusing atmosphere for the

site.


The 3D rotating nav worked pretty slow on my machine (G3/350/196 mb/8.6)

but everything else worked pretty good.  I did find that I could "break"

the connection of some of the expanding/shrinking lines that join specific

windows..


Hope these few suggestions help...  Again, great job on pushing Flash -

with reworking some of the usability and functionality issues I think that

you'd have an awesome Flash site.


Nathan
