Hi John,


Thanks for the reply.


 Well, since its impossible to find any feedback link or direct support

e-mail link from MM's website without paying money or giving my credit card

number, I'll reply here since it seems this public forum is the only way to

actually contact any warm blooded creature @ Macromedia. I visited

"Shockwave.com" and I must say that this is probably one of the most awfully

designed Flash sites I've seen to date from a company of MM's caliber. I was

totally confused, I know, not that difficult. =8>)-  The ergonomics were

horrible and nothing worked. There were several amatuer design flaws and the

bottom line, is,... well,.... as Tom Hanks in "BIG" would say, "I don't get

it".


MM, I can name at least 20 professional freelance flash developers that

could have executed the shockwave.com site at least 50 times more

effectively then what I saw. Who "Ok'ed" that?!


The loader graphic looks like Ammon Haggerty's work, however I would find it

extremely suprising that his talent might have been part of the developed of

that eye sore of a site. Maybe it was just ripped.


hey, just my 02.


what do I know,
