check out my new website and see what you think.
there are two flash links to other flash sites i've posted before, and two html sites to look at.
let me know what you think about the interface and suggestions on how to make it more flash creative (remember that i'm not an expert and if you suggest something cool, let me know how to do it as well).
thanx man

The only thing I really noticed is that I am unable to use the forward or back button on the browser to move through the site. Once you go somewhere in the site, it seems a little too hard to get back to where you came from.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jeff,
Boy, that was a walk down Memory Lane for me! I used to work for Reach Magazine AND Willis Music in the early '90s. In fact, the owner of Reach and my wife grew up together! We still live in Cincy.
My, what a small internet it is!

Anyway, my assessment... I agree with captain... I couldn't get back to the portal when I went to the Flash examples. Also, I think the Flash needs a little more movement, or interactivity. Perhaps add some interesting rollovers to the buttons, a subtle s
ound effects, things like that. For some inspiration, visit http://www.moluv.com and check out the sites in the center column. Great examples!
take care and visit the forum often! I'll keep an eye out!
Andy

thanx for the input.
every link has a button that will take you back to the portal, i guess i made it too hard to find on all of them. mainly, just buttons that say home or html or something like that.
as far as the back and forward buttons (do they work with flash movies?)

hi andy2112, there have been about three cincy people i've heard from in this forum. must be flash territory.
small world after all. i'm just a little graphic artist for reach magazine. reachusa has grown since the 1990s. i'm one of about 200 employees. i'm assuming you mean bob you grew up with or are you talking about wolfie. i don't know wolfie for the reason
that i started reach after bob became the big boss.

i'll work on making everything have more movement, as well as make it more accessible to get back to the portal.

i post changes soon! http://home.fuse.net/jmdesign
