Scotty's Website

[Scotty]

Hi,
Well I finally got Xtrem Pro 4 working properly (had new computer built) and created my first website for personla use. Altho' I didn't use Xtrem flash exclusively I did the majority in Xtreme.
If you are interested the site is here:

comments welcome (I think)
I do this as a hobby and am NOT a designer just so you know.

Don't we all?

Anyway, it looks good, but a few things:
-I'm not sure if it's just me, but I don't like that background color.
-For scrollers, I'm a fan of using the mousewheel, didn't seem to work with the scroller on your site.

I've never accually built a site in flash, so I guess this is better than anything I'd be able to come up with

HI Manwe,
thanks for the visit to my web page, as you saw it is a Dungeons and Dragons character statistics page not very exciting, but it was done to amuse myself. The scroller has a wheel scrolll but you have to be over the text I believe. takess a second to kick in.
As for the background I wasn't fussy bout that my self but right now more concerned with loading and the scripts being functional.
Again Thanks for feedback
Jim
I wish you and your Family
A Joyous and Merry Chrstmas!

Always glad to help

I still can't make those scrollers move with my mousewheel, on neither of my computers, I've even tried selecting some of the text...

How interresting the contents are depends on what you like

If functionality is the first thing you're working on, then I have a little suggestion on those links, if the names are supposed to go with the faces (I know nothing about D&D), then maybe make the names links as well? Took me a minute or two to figure that there was more to the site than "About"

A Merry Christmas to you as well
Greetings

Same here Scotty - no mouse wheel action for the text box.

This scroller doesn't update the scrollknob but it scrolls on wheelmouse.

Hi,
Thanks to all that replied! And a Happy Holidays to all!!
I am trying to decipher the problem with scroller, seems to be sporatic on wheel scroll. I am also trying to decide on a background theme.

Hi Jim,

You have set the swf wmode to transparent and in browsers other then IE
it will not or sometimes have focus on links and buttons.
Better use wmode=opaque,then html-items can be above swf files
