My First Flash Site.

[Gav240z]

Well guys this is my beginners Flash Website. It's not got alot of info on it, it's mainly just a page I constructed for school and didn't get to spend too much time on with all my other subject demanding time but I hope you like it.

Any suggestion, comments plz I'd love to hear what you think and how it could be improved.

Please be nice

:classic: .

Also it's a geocities site and I've put it under a free page so it might exceed bandwidth here and there as a flash page is about 1.5mb not exactly small due to the way I incorporated the imaging something to work on. :stupid:

Anyway Enjoy!

less than 30 minutes after your post, the bandwidth has been exceeded.

I'll try to check it out again later

where it says enter and email and i tried to enter and well i had gotten no further:stupid:

[Gav240z]

It should load but if your using a 56k connection may take a while if your on cable shouldn't be a problem. It's about 1.5mb because I didn't compress it as well as I should have.

Also it may be possible the server exceeded it's limit.

I'll give it a whizz tomorrow when my download'o'meter resets back to 0.

Gav240z ,

I LOVE it.

Never take it off the web.

no matter what you do at least keep it on geocities.Websites seem to stay there forever.

I'm on 56K took me a cuple of minutes to come up.

Took me 10 minutes (damn 56k) while browsing other sites though but it was well worth it. Good looking site Gav.

My criticism- Menu wasn't my cup of tea and the writing in the 'My 240Z' was a bit hard to read but love the growing effect.

Anyhoo, any site with my car on it deserves at least a 9/10 :classic:

Can't wait to see your second effort.

[toecutter]

hmmm gav i'm trying to access it now from work on cable...spew it's not working for me!

[Alfadog]

I also got an error when trying to enter

[Gav240z]

Not sure why it would do that is your Flash plug in up to date?

Could be Geocities being dodgy I would have paid for a site but it's only a sample sorta of what I'd like to do.

If time permits I'll try and make a better page these holidays :classic: .

Just keep trying at different intervals and hopefully it will work.

great site man, i plan on learning flash eventually to incorporate it into my site, it really brings it to that next level of professionalism you know? great job man, i cant wait to start doing some of that myself, maybe when i get done painting my car:cheeky:

how did you do it? what software did you use?

its nice(ur page), make the changes a little bit slower, and cover the whole screen so it will be clearer. (just my $0.02 comment).

Gavin:

I finally got to view your FLASH website. Nice work. It looks really good. It didn't take too long to load. Maybe because I'm used to my 56K modem connection?

[Gav240z]

Thanks for the kind words indeed I'll be making a few changes and probably be changing the whole site that was just a beginning i would have loved to make it look much better before I handed it up to the teacher.

I've started my holidays and so far so good I've been working on the car as intended.

I bought a new gearbox mount, replaced my steering rach bushes, got another indicator flasher unit as the old one was playing games, I got some lower control arm bushes haven't done that yet, bought a grease gun and greased up the ball joints, still have a few things to do and I've only got 1 week left but hopefully I'll get the rest of the things done.

Oh I washed her yesterday came up real good can't wait to polish and wax her soon .

hf240z I made it using Macromedia Flash MX you can download it for free off their website but you have a limited trial however if you don't wanna pay for the program I can help you there .

Hi Gav,

I finally got to see your site. I like what you did. Are you thinking of making a full time site? If you do there quite a few of us here in Melbourne that would refer to it on a regular basis. I was thinking of doing something similar but dedicated purely for Great Ocean road drives, just as a reference point for maps, times etc.

I've got a few freinds with zeds including myself and we thought this would be a good reference point for all that wanted to have a monthly get together for such a drive. If you go ahead to put together a permanent site could you possibly incude something like this. After each trip photos could be posted and site could include maps etc. Anyways just some ideas if you do go ahead with it.

Cheers Sulio.

[Gav240z]

I'd love to do something like it and be involved with a few more Z people here in Melbourne ie: going on drives etc..

I could incorporate photo's I guess but flash isn't my strong point just yet I guess it could become a good learning oportunity the only other thing is I need a good server for the site at the moment she's on a freebie webspace just for a demo however if we could get a few guys together I think we could really make something of it.

Are you a member of the club? NDSOC I should be but am not yet I was at Zworx and Warren showed me a news letter it had mentioned this website and showed pictures of when Alan T visited the Nissan Factory in Japan.

Anyway let me know how you wanna go with this and if your looking to go on a cruise anytime soon I'd be free during next week my new job means i work weekends.

Speak Later :classic:

I think you know both. Anyways I work alot of weekends too but I'm on line at work all nite so you can always get a message through!

[Alfadog]

Still haven't seen it, but if you're going to make it into something *real*, then please, make it in HTML damnit!

Flash is all well and good, but limit it to an animation or a splash screen. It's not made for website design...

*still trying to see it*
