This is the third week I have done this, but this time there is some major changes.
New features:
Menu
--Has a play button (plays the whoel thing)
--Poem button (skips info and background)
--Credits button (skips all but credits)
Much faster
--The whole thing is around 120 second including credits
Replay button at the end (sends you to menu)
Easier to read
More background (two pages not one)


This one is about the Dave Pelzer the author of "A child called it". He had a rough child hood, and ended up making someone of him self.


So as always enjoy, and let me know how I did. I'm not going to tell you anymore background here, it's all in the flash. I've also decided not to put forward and back buttons in.

Maybe I'm just a sap but this really touched me. I had a friend who suffered from child abuse. I wish he was still around so I could show this to him.

I liked the music. But I think the pages flipped just a little too quickly. I'm not expericined in any of this stuff, but maybe there is a way you can add a button to change the page?

SprintT responds:

Yes there is but my scripting abilitys are well I have none XD
TY

alright..

there was meaning behind the poem, and it was well planned out, but i just feel it was too plain. uninspiring.
there are so many words in the english language that could add meaning to these poems, so use them.
i would recommend you keep a thesaurus open in front of you as you write.

i say this not as criticism, but encouragement.
all modern greats (Derek Mahon, Adrienne Rich, Micheal Longley to name a few) started out small, just like this.

nice

my favorite is forsaken child wow another goood1 very deep an intinuitivethere isint much to say about this poem, the poem reminds me of a child in a foster home that dearly loved his mother.......:[ altho the music seemed odd you picked great music for the other ones plz reply

SprintT responds:

Aye the msuic is odd, but thos poem has two feelings. The first being of pain, and sorrow. The second being of love, and need. The song I pick for each peace is the one that sends a chill down my spine when I read the poem with it.

Thanks as always for the review.

Sound!!

Sound Quality Sucks Ass

SprintT responds:

Quality is fine for me, and everyone else I talk to. Maybe you don't like the song?

0_0 great :D

woah
another well done poem
one little problem i think the switching pages were a bit too quick
new style of background looks great.
a way of to stop making the pages appear to move quickly is using a narator

Keep it up man! :D ^.^

SprintT responds:

Once I find a narrator, or train my self there will be one. Also people wanted faster pages so there ya go XD You can ready it all if you try, but i'll slow it down a few seconds in the next. Thanks for your suport.
