Re: FLASH: Chinese characters

[Max Johnson]

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie on this list (and to Flash), and I've just completed

my first flash animation using tutorials on the Internet and reading a Flash

book.

I'm a seasoned web designer (in HTML) by trade and also work part-time as an

actor in Hollywood.


If you have time, please check it out, you can even download the 'fla' if you

wanna dissect it. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I could have made it

better/faster/easier to use... yada, yada...

Since I subscribed to this list to learn, you're free to criticize everything  -

except my headshots :-)


I used two, IMO, nifty 'preloaders'; one in the beginning where a question pops

and you don't get the "answer" button until half of the movie is loaded. And

then the second one half way in, where the "Chinese characters" are lined up at

the bottom. Once the rest of the movie is loaded, these "Chinese characters"

turn in to buttons.

Now, I tried it back and forth in the 'bandwidth profiler' and streamed it at

different settings, and it seemed to work alright. But since I have DSL myself

it's hard to know if it works good with a modem out in 'the real world'.


Thanks,


/ Max
