Hello all,

This site ran great on my computer, but when published, it's a whole nuther
story. I can't believe how slow it is. The main swf is only 788kb, and none of
its supporting pages are more than 200kb. They are all movies that load into a
container on the main page. What did I do wrong?

Also, I wanted the html page to fit closely around the swf, not have it float
off to the left like that. I don't like the blue background. Plus, the swf
seems so small in there, doesn't look like 900 x 600, does it?

I would appreciate any guidance with these issues, and more if you see
anything I should correct.

thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
well, it loads in "ages", but after all it's welkl over 1M which is really
much for a web site to load all at once. anyway, it wouldn't be that big of a
deal if you could ad a preloader to it, and also not load all the movies at
once(in case it does actually happen like that, sorry).
for the page problem..well, it doesn't seem small, it's fine. and about the
pagealignment and color, i think a simple html change might be just fine. just
add a [I]<center></center>[/I] tag to the flash object and also change the
background color of the html so the exact same color of the flash movie.

i hope it will be useful.
