Art exhibition flash site

[Jeesus]

Hey you all!

Currently working on this flash site.
The costumers is a art university that wants a page for their bachelor graduates.
Take a look and let me know what you think. It´s only a first flash sketch so please feel free to bring on the critique.

Peace out

I think it looks really good, with the light blue and the white.

I think 3 links for horizontal scrolling does not work properly.

[Sirisian]

The brushes have a glitch make a boundary larger than the brushes that takes up the whole area. They spaz if you don't go over just the middle.

[Jeesus]

Anyone have any idea how to scale the swf so that it covers the entire screen. Without the content beeing scaled? Would be a great feature for the animated background i´m working on.

By the way, anyone know how to get the flash menu to look like this.

Haven´t seen it so much, but it´s a nice feature as well

[gvozden]

ordinary for fullscreen flash I would use


fscommand("fullscreen", true);
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL"; // top left align

then your full screen is always in rectangle 0,0 to Stage.width, Stage.height

you will need also Stage listener, look at the example in Flash Stage.addListener to find out more

right click menu in flash example can be found on google or here on forum, too much for me to write it right now ;)

[Jeesus]

Thanks for the great tips, will get right on it right now...
Let you know how it worked out in a few hours..
Peace

Looks pretty good - the only things I can think of right now to improve is maybe shortening the large image a bit - it takes away from the site too much. And maybe try a different font - the current one looks kinda boring.

Good luck!

[Jeesus]

Sounds like a good idea Ice, the font and the logo need more serious work. Thinking about adding a complement color to the blue and white, anyone got any suggestions.

[Pasquale]

Pretty nice, but I am not feeling the side navigation- the whole squashed gradient and the bounce makes it corny.

[Jeesus]

Hey yall, got it to work with fullscreening the stage and centering the main movieclip without scale.. Now it´s time to work with the menu, in the meantime the menu doesn´t work, just so you know.

Thanks for all the feedback btw

[Jeesus]

Have done a sketch of the menu I want in the bottom right corner, going to add some roll over effects and when a menu item is selected it should hand on the nail, something like that.

What do you guys think?

[simplistik]

doesn't work in FF on a mac

[Jeesus]

You´re right.. wonder why.. perhaps it has something to do with the scaling of the content. It is done dynamically and somewhere in there something might go wrong.
Work perfectly in IE.
Anyone had any similar problems??

[Jeesus]

Threw away a large portion of the work I did.. just didn´t feel right. Will post again in a few days and let you all know what I´ve been up to. The link is the same so check it out if you are interested.

Broken in FF on Mac like Simp said, this is a well known bug for fullscreen flash sites... google it...

Since I can't give you a nice critique because I can't see your site, I'll tell you this:

I hate that background pattern... Hate it... soften it by making the grey about half as dark, theres too much contrast, and with a busy bg like that, it looks muddled and chock full of downsyndrome.

:D

[Jeesus]

Fixed the background, or deleted it ;) Leaving the background for a while know, got to get busy on the content instead.

Got it to work with the 9 -slice scaling, try click artists and see what happens. Also working on supporting Firefox, problem with the fullscreen flash file.

Anyone know why the artists-transition lags? Could it be the filter applied to the movieClip?

[Jeesus]

Redone the design a bit, feels like it´s getting better all the time. Let me know what you guys think about it.

[fasterthanlight™]

I'd cure your ff+mac bug asap, thats a huuuuuuuge problem, but an easy fix

I´ll deal with it right away!

[Jeesus]

Fixed the problem with scaling the content in FF, should work in mac as well!

[fasterthanlight™]

ahhh much better!!

Boost the framerate by a whole bunch though, your transitions were excrutiatingly slow!

[Jeesus]

Yeah I know, it´s so slow and it´s lagging. Why is that?
I´m using the TweenExtended transition on all the mc:s, could this be the issue?
The clips doesn´t contain so much heavy stuff so it shouldn´t be that.

My own guess is that it´s because they all tween at the same time.
Right now the framerate is at 60 and the transitions is told to finish their tween in 20 frames.

Hmm, if anyone got any idea, Please! Please tell me.. it´s a huge problem.

[Note to self]
When screen changes, change size of mask!

[Jeesus]

Got the nav to work now, what do you guys think?
Beginning with the inside content now
