Flash Critique

**Patman.nyc** · 29 January 2010, 03:09 PM

I've created a flash file, and would like to upload it to Talkgraphics for opinions and suggestions. Just where do I post it? And if so, do I upload the xar file also. And if so, do I have to upload all the graphic files used within the flash?

Thanks,
Pat

Thanks.

To have the flash display within the post you can right click the attachment and select properties to get the URL.

Use BBCODE to embed the flash.

[CODE] Use [FLASH= followed by the URL of the flash file within double quotes. Put a closing bracket then width=xxx height=xxx then end with /FLASH within brackets.[/CODE]

I will embed your flash in this post so you can see how it will appear.

Hi Patman,

Good ideas, but a running a bit too fast and with too much movement for my liking. I think the animation swamps the message about the food. I don't use Xtreme for flash animation but if I were doing this I'd go for some fade ins with a small amount of subtle movement and some pauses.
