Hey guys,
I've been putting off rebuilding my site for years and I randomly just got an urge to start again and made this thing in 2 days in full nerd mode.
I tried many times with HTML/CSS coding based sites before and failed horribly every time, so the site is made out of swf files cause I suck at HTML.

Please let me know what you think!

Rate My Flash Site

Ummm... 3/5, becasue most good websites are made with the help of micromedia/adobe wave something... But for a flash-made website it is good! Good job!

Well, it doesn't load for me.

Add a preloader?

It looks good, a bit blurry though.

I have a lot of glows added on there to make it look kinda dream like.

You shouldn't be insulting him just like that.
At least tell him why you didn't like stuff or why he should've done it in HTML/CSS.

Please use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling.

Heres a simple way ive used in the past
1.make a website using
Free Webs
2.Then transfere all your website from your current domain to the freewebs one.
3. then on your old domain add this code

<html>
<head><title>Enter your title</title>
<meta name="Description" content="">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
<meta name="Keywords" content="">
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="index,follow">
<META name="LANGUAGE" content="US, eng, RU, DE, AT, CH">
<meta name="DISTRIBUTION" content="global">
<link href="/zzz/css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/zzz/gas.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="main">
<tr><td><iframe src="your free webs address" name="fid1" id="fid1" width="100%" height="100%" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></td></tr></tab le>

<div align="center" id="bottom">
<h1>your title here</h1><br><br>
<h2></h2><br><br>
</div>
</body>
</html>

the freewebs will give you plenty of space for your videos and you wont have to pay but when ppl go on the site it will show your url bar so it will seem as if your using a custom domain when really your not

FlashSims, you do know that FreeWebs has only like 100 MB of bandwidth for free domains?

Also,

NOOB!

It's an OK site, but I get a bit annoyed having to load a different page to load a different section. Use XML for data and load everything into a container swf. That way, you rarely have to edit the swf files, and the visitors don't have to load new pages, just new content. It also prevents the browser from caching everything.

If you don't have the space to host your movies why did you make it a flash site?? Anyways, I usually leave websites forever when I find out they arent capable of putting their own videos on their own sites. It is very unprofessional. I could jsut use their newgrounds accounts, or even youtube acounts (if I am a dumbass, I hate youtube). in other words your website is useless.
The look of it is OK but you used too many filters and it takes forever to load, your newgrounds account takes about .5 seconds to load.
look at the pros and cons of your site, what does it have that your newgrounds,youtube account dosent? For my site I put weekly exclusive content every week.

It looks a lot more professional to have your own domain and design ya know
I use my site just for a resume type of things for when I am getting a job.

I like when people go to my youtube (even though im not the biggest fan of youtube) because it generates more traffic. People are a lot more likely to show a video on youtube to their friends.

I pretty much agree with what everybody else has been saying... besides that freewebs kid though.

Site takes too long to load, and it'd be better if you just embedded your youtube videos into the site.

How to get the selection thing to go away? That just takes a bit of CSS. You make this line:

<div align="center">

Become

<div id="content" align="center">

Then you make a CSS file called styles.css (or whatever you want, but styles is logical), in it you put:

#content
{
       outline-style:none;
}

That's all, this file goes into the main directory where Movies.htm and everything else is...

Then inside all of your page files you just do:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.moonlp.com/styles.css"/>

that's inside your <head> tags

I don't use a relative link because that styles file shouldn't be going anywhere AND all your pages will be using that same thing for now anyways.

But you really shouldn't make the page reload everytime you go to a new section, it justs too long of a load time.

Like you have room to talk? Your site
www.farfenwaffle.com Isn't perfect.

You haven't even had an update since June. Check your pro's and Con's before you rip on someone else's Site.
