Please take a look at this site in progress and relay comments.

I need to know how to place anchor links in a flash drop down menu that when
clicked takes the viewer right to the picture or text selected in another
moviclip just like on a HTML page with anchor and name tags. I would like to
use it for the birds menu.

Thank you

I got a 1Mb Broadband & I sat here for about a minute waiting for something
to happen. All I can say is it's a nice shade of green.

LoL
Thanks Martin, but I am not sure what is wrong a I tested the page since your
reply and it is working all in less than a minute. I have a 256 connection.

Do you have the Flash 8 player installed although if you did not you should
have been redirected?

Thanks and I am still looking into the problem!?

Hi,
Nice site. Quick comment that I noticed. The "More" links under the
Activities, Cuisine, and Accomodation sections have an outline that is clearly
visible. Don't know if that is what you intended or not, but if so, they are
not aligned and the one under Cuisine protrudes onto the adjacent green area.
Other than that it looks pretty good.

Hi there,
I like the general feel of the site.
Kanniss' comments are right and what i first noticed.
A few other little things ive come across when going through the site....
1. The sound (birds) only plays until you rollover a button and then it stops.
It should play alongside the botton sounds.
2. I'm not stuck on the button sound anyway. I didnt like it when i heard it.
3. when you go to the "Birds" section.... on releasing the scroll bar i found
that all the text was highlighted.
4. I waited for a minute waiting for the video section to load and then
clicked off. most people would wait 10 seconds.
5. in the gallery section.... when you hover over the numbers you have a small
pop-up thumb, i found that if i was going down the numbers that sometimes the
thumbs were only half-showing.

As i said, i like the general feel of the site. This is just what i
encountered when navigating it.
Keep up the good work.
Alan

Hi alanwallace4

Thanks for the comments...I made those adjustments but still working on the
highlighted text in the birds section...the video should load faster but needs
some more work...

Thanks
