uhhhh, it keeps on asking to install flash player 7, even though i already clicked install once when i visited other page, why?

even after downloading 8, there's still something wrong, "things" don't show up

Did you restart your browser (or computer)?

the top red clock actually uses nothing new for flash 8, but i thought it looked cool, it uses text as a mask over a pattern.

the second one is made from filters from flash 8, the glow, blur, and drop shadow effects.

this is my first expirement, it was fun

so i'm also thinking about making parts of my personal site flash8 only, and using a tester to see the version they have and have options for them to download flash 8 to see the new cool stuff. and maybe do this on some of the fun sites i do, have extra stuff for flash 8 player users, but still have the site viewable in lower versions, so this could help promote flash 8 to my users. what does everyone think?

Lots of shadows and blurring and image warping - things often associated with Java applets. Mostly just fancy effects. This version will definitely push Flash in terms of visual effects.

I'm looking forward to this release, my site can definately benifit from the blur... see. You all thought I was procrastinating... but I knew F8 would improve my site... yea... that's it.
