One with very tiny type. At 1280 x 1024 a lot of the text is totally unreadable. If the message is important, they could offer a magnifying feature to make the type larger.

Absolutely stunning by means of creativity and artistry.
Though I still hate Flash (only) websites, I must admit that I am quite impressed ...

I don't like all Flash sites either, but as a piece of Flash work this is outstanding!
Some of the text is a little too small, but the design of the interface is superb. There was no problem with loading times on my 521k broadband either (although I anticipate that 56k users might experience delays)
An excellent example of what Flash can do!

Very very slick.
The site is entertaining and upbeat fun. Perhaps a bit busy - but well done visuals and sounds!
I also do like the work of Eric Jordan (2A) very much.
If you are interested, here are some other of my favorite flash sites:

...designs! It makes my web page look like a stone age hut gone terribly wrong... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
One thing though - are they all buying the techno loop music and sound effects from the same place? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] What does an on-line flower store look like when designed by these guys? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
I also can't help but getting to stressed up; there is just too mush stuff going on. I also have to lean in to the monitor to see what is going on.
Perhaps, I'm just getting old?

Yes, one of the problems is that the fonts are often hardly readable on higher resolutions, because most flash designers use a fixed width for their pages (Neostream with their fullscreen solution is one exception here).
The Music sounds very similar, techno and spheric sounds ... you can download these sounds for free at flashkit or sample your own ones very easily by cutting and pasting pieces together with AcidMusic.
Flash can be very entertaining or very annoying.
Didn't know if you all knew or not (You probably do!) but right-clicking on any Flash item on a page will give you the option to zoom in. Since most flash is vector, it shouldn't ruin the quality

is still the coolest. (& there's no techno music) The ravens flying from the tree is an awesome animation.

Ric,
Sure, Gabo is cool.
But a 'coming soon' message since early 2000 is a bit too long for me.
I saw this trailer years ago, and I was very surprised to see still the same thing ...

Ric - in your initial post you asked where's Ross 2. Isn't one Ross enough for you? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Actually, if you are refering to young Ross: He said, in effect, he was going to pick up his marbles and go home. He didn't want to play with us anymore. He thought we were a bunch of "Dorks". (We aren't).
Regards, Ross

I am!</p>
Ehh. I'm with Wolfgang - impressed, but I still hate Flash sites.</p>
2advanced may be overpoweringly slick, but in terms of clear presentation of information it's terrible. I guess presentation of information isn't actually central to what they're trying to do, but it still grates for me.</p>
All their sites seem to present a big fat empty page to anyone without Flash, or with ActiveX turned off or whatever. This is not intelligent markup. But then Flash authors always did seem to live on a different planet to HTMLsmiths...</p>
oh, and I don't need more sites bursting into song without warning! If only the Flash plugin had a global 'mute' option. gah!</p>
I LOVE flash, but not as much as I LOVE xara. Actually I downloaded Swifter and paid for it, but haven't even had time to play with it yet.

I really loved the visual presentation. Well laid out, good timing, great eye appeal. However..
The home page load is 397k. Even on my 6MB DSL I was waiting. Can't imagine a modem..
The Quicktime movies were visually stunning and grabbed my visual attention. But to be honest I have absolutely no idea what was being "said". Everyhintg was so small and was flashing so fast I couldn't read it. They were also kinda large (10-13MB) for a web designer presentation.
All the text was way too small to be useful. I run at 1600x1200 which always makes things look small, but even on my 1280 machine It was way too small.
The result? I honestly loved it, but have no idea what you were saying.
