Need some critiquing(sp?)

[ChrisMG187]

I think I totally screwed up the spelling in the subject, but anyways here's the deal. I would like some people to take a look at my website, which i'm basically using as an info section for AIM. Give me some advice, as this is my first fully flash site.

i'd say get rid of the shout outs. let me guess, you like it when ugly stupid fans interupt the songs during trl?

What program(s) are you using? How do you get the photos to enlarge when you roll over them?

[ChrisMG187]

I'm using SWiSH. You can find it at http://www.swishzone.com/. It has a transform feature to use for pictures. In order to get them to zoom, I shrunk them down at first, then I set the onMouseOver to enlarge it.

I mean, no offense or anything, but don't abuse the power of flash like that... You could do most of that without it.

SO SO YOUNG! besides...you need a new digital picture of yourself. I could practically draw it from memory :-p Actually, I was quite looking forward to the AIM tips (hoping for some more of the little cheats and tricks that I've been using to surprise people for a while...alas...no success.

really? It's under 100k. Like 94k total. Maybe it's your service.

It's a start...

The fact that you got a Flash sight up is impressive atleast. Flash is a bit tricky as most of you know so props for just having it up....

I would say that maybe you could make it smaller in size so people with slow AOL connections can access it. Or any 56k for that matter. Try doing those effects without using the plug-in. You can break those buttons down to one frame if you create a button object. Also if you wanted, you could imbed the Flash page on a regular HTML page, so that if the person who you send there doesn't have Flash, they can click on your HTML button to get it from Shockwave.
