hi. I'm working on this bands website, http://www.rieser.co.uk/ I'm doing it as part of my dissertation for uni in edinburgh, UK. I would be interested if anyone could give me some constructive critisism or general nice feedback on it. I've only used flas
h mx pro for the last 4 months and it would be good to get some advice/support ect.

Let me know

Cheers

Greg,

I would recomment http://www.flashcomponents.net/ for an easy preloader component that you can simply drag and drop.

I would also suggest that you try and make your site a tad smaller, seriously 26 meg is to big, even with broadband!

Ways round this would be to look at ways of loading the video and audio in stages or dynamically as needed.

What feedback have your tutors given you?

Hope this helps.
