First off some the text looked very slightly blurred. I liked the layout of the site and loading times were fairly short. The preloader was different I don't think I've that before.

I don;t know what problem you were having with the image but I didn't see anything.

Good work

Thanks for the comment Mr G
Quite cool that it is loading fast, some files, those with the sound are about 500/600 kb, my host must have a good bandwith :D
Indeed i've seen some blurry fonts, i'll have to check all my files with "snap to pixels", it takes a time !
For the imagen it's just my homepage image, it is not totally 'filling' the screen horizontally. On the right, you see the end of the img and a border of blue (background).:D

i like the splash but its too big for 1024 x 768, i have to scroll, for nothing!! make it small, its just a box!

i love the colours and layout. and the transitions are nice. the "small-cross-at-corners" is getting old, but it suits the site nicely.
the "small-diagonal-lines-splash-background" is also a old trick, but it also suits the site!
i like the text, nice font, but the thing that ruins the site completley is the MENU FONT!!! it's gross!! change it now! it does nothing for the site and makes it look unproffesional.

but those are just a small amount of small problems, the overal site is very nice. i like it alot.
i think a subtle amount of small sounds for the buttons and maybe transitions would be a nice touch, but do some experiments, i'm not sure if it would ruin the site or not.

good job.

Thanks cartoonfox for your comments, they're good advices and i'll go back to work to fix it. I also was thinking of some sounds, to give some live to the transition and others stuff. For the splash screen, i don't kown what i did with the measures of the image, must have been tired:sleep: i'll fix it too.
Good to have comments to improve myself,
thanks

hey man your site great. Good graphics and color overall. Though you could out buttons sounds, maybe some music to make it more groovy :P

hey btw ubik, could you tell me how you make the menu bigger when you press on "portfolio" and the sub-category of portfolio appears?

Good,

Pre loader idea is excellent, the old tools paintbucket!!

I'd like to see some nice pixel fonts in your menu instead of those bulky black letters you have at the moment but hey, good work.

Stretch the splash page 100%

Awesome preloader ;D Flash wise, it's pretty good, but visually it's kind of plain. The red kind of sticks out and the layout is 'too simple'

Thank you all for your comments, i'll apply them after the week-end !:sleep:
I think i'll add some sound but maybe no background music because in the 'son' section i have several music when you click the buttons so i'd have to find some AS to say if button music is playing, stop bg music and if button music is stopped, plys bg music. anyway, for hte menu sgroove, it works with on (release) {
if (_parent.contact._currentframe == 15 && _parent.liens._currentframe == 15 ) {
_root.soumen.gotoAndPlay(19);
_parent.contact.gotoAndPlay(16);
_parent.liens.gotoAndPlay(16);
}
}

and so on for others buttons, basically it checks where the menu is to close or open it.
