oh BTW i need to make it open up from another website.. when u click on a splash screen.. and open to a desired size with no menu bar and no resizing option [which i know kirupa made a tutorial for]

its real size is around 800 x 400 or something

i also want the black design to move from left to right and right to left or something continuously. any help woudl rok.. thanks

I love it. The design is very sweet looking. I can imagine that menu in 3 dimensions though.

Very organic.

Which is of course a compliment.

Remember that some flash effects can be sweet and low rez. I have a pulse on my web site that I ended up using a dozen times just because the animation was simple, and it was only 1 k per pulse.

I think your menu should have some sort of smooth flowing circular movement to it.

:) all in all, coming along sweeeetly.

I agree with upuaut8, the animations looks really nice. A nice 3D effect for the menus might look nice!

wow dude.. i really like the drawings.. m a frequent graffiti drawer myself and those drawings are really smooth.. keep up the good work!

wow.. really? kewl.. ok guys.. u can help me design it then =] here is my thoughts.. for the right hand side.. some sort of graphic [prolly a larger version of the border designs so only two pieces show] faded out [i traced bitmap so i should be able to mess with them right?] and.. movement.. ALOT of movement.. umm.. i wouldnt mind doing some sort of 3d menu but how do u mean? i wanted to make those designs turn constantly until you drag over them then they form into place..but as u all know i suk at actionscript and have no idea how. PLEASE help =] i really love flash now and i want to be good like u guys one day.. i can make ANYTHING in 3d or photoshop.. but getting it into flash it impossible for me =] ok here's a thought.. i have swift3d.. make an animation of those objects spinning in 3d... and can i make it so at any point when u drag NEAR them it takes them from their current position to the form u see there. i also wanted to make kewler button actions.. like when u drag over them they send off a ringwave effect but a ringwave that is shaped like them.. i mean.. a bunch of little circular lines from each concave i think it is.. eac concave part.. [the part that bumps IN].. and they end up fading away about an inch away.this effect would have to be BEHIND every other layer too.. this is stuff i cannot do now unless i get help and you guys rok and are very nice so .. help =]

those buttons are actually 3d objects.. so it isnt hard to make them rotate.. the OTHER thing i wanted to do.. and tell me if i could... was make a sort of energy wave from teh left hand side of the screen to the right... and make it flow over everything and turn whatever is 3d to a wireframe while its over it.. make sense?

like an x ray.. it would make everything wireframe like its showing its bones... if any of you would like to see my fla's lemme know.. i wouldnt mind. i need tutorials on button actions.. and if there are any like what i need.. by all means.. =] thanks. really appreciated.. oh... one more thing.. my designs.. they are actually a symbol i made.. and its about 10 designs grouped together.. and i was wodering if there was anyway to make it scroll.. i have seen stuff where u drag near the left and it scrolls faster to the right.. and visa versa, and i really need a tutorial for that.. i want to make pics of maps in the background maybe.. i havent figured out where yet.. and when u drag over them i want them to clear up from being foggy looking.. and then when u actually click on them i want them to download that map.. somethign using that basic technology.. any help once again is kewl guys.. =] i will work on something.. see the problem is.. i actually have no idea how to finish my projects too.. so all i can do is make swf's as of now. and to group dif movies together and stuff sounds way too hard to me. so this is all one movie... i want some designs of mine to fade out to be a background image.. or somethign.. and a grid somewhere.. its all jumbled up in my head =] gotta throw it up into flash.

Nice layout, clean. In my opinium you should add a bit of effect to the rollover buttons. If you use dreamweaver the open a new browser windom command from the actionpanel should do the trick.

The scrolling effect, take a look at the tutorial section, otherwize make a filmclip of the disered animation or if you want to spend a bit of time you make a small animation and duplicate the filmclips side by side (start position and end position must be with one frame different so it runs smoth, just like a music loop)

Otherwize the layout look very exciting and be shure to let us know when you done more.
