Well, you already know that I am a big fan.
I am proudly displaying your "Freedom" sketch right next to my computer.
You might want to try using javascript pop-up windows for your drawings. I use one that was created by the Dreamweaver Fever guy. It's great because if you click anywhere else on the screen, the window closes. Makes for some really fast and simple browsing. You can even use Flash to command a javascript pop-up if you want. It's done differently though.
Here's the script (not sure if this will work on this board):
<a href="#" onClick="openPictureWindow_Fever('LINK TO YOUR IMAGE FILE LIKE IMAGES/PIC.JPG','WIDTH','HEIGHT','WINDOW TITLE','','')"><img src="LINK TO YOUR THUMBNAIL IMAGE LIKE /IMAGES/THUMB_PIC.GIF" width="WIDTH OF THUMBNAIL" height="HEIGHT OF THUMBNAIL" alt="WHAT IT WILL SAY IN THE ALT-TAG WHEN YOU MOUSE OVER IT="0"></a>
You will also have to place this code into the header of your HTML:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openPictureWindow_Fever(imageName,imageWidth,imageHeight,alt,posLeft,posTop) {
newWindow = window.open("","newWindow","width="+imageWidth+",height="+imageHeight+",left="+posLeft+",top="+posTop);
newWindow.document.open();
newWindow.document.write('<html><title>'+alt+'</title><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" onBlur="self.close()">');
newWindow.document.write('<img src='+imageName+' width='+imageWidth+' height='+imageHeight+' alt='+alt+'>');
newWindow.document.write('</body></html>');
newWindow.document.close();
newWindow.focus();
}
//-->
</script>
Hope this all helps you out. Your page is looking really good. See it through.

cool :-)
i really like that bug, and the different animations you created for each button - although it's extremely quick and i'd love to see more of it.
i second rattmouth's crit, and in addition i think that the text in the buttons can be a bit hard to read, especially when it's above that high-contrast "canistr" label. it simply gets lost inside.
oh- one more thing- i don't know what's causing it, but there's some weird distortion on the background image while scrolling the text window. |

thank you for responding. these are perfect comments, perfect and helpful. i'll try and post my updated site as i work on it.
fellipe- thanks for checking it out, yeah it will probably take some time to load. i pull my hair out everytime i'm behind a phone modem. i checked your site out and really like your pics.
rattmouth- wow, long time no read. hope things are going well. perfect! the full windows poping up drive me crazy. i love the ones you that are a fixed size and click shut. thank you thank you. i've tried finding tuts on the net to do that with flash and it's never worked for me. i'm using flash 4, so i don't know if that matters. i'll try that today.
bilbo- good call on the contrast thing. i noticed that and will work on it. i also am really bugged by the distortion thing. those scrollers are their own flash files loaded in and masked off, so it's the masked file moving across the pic that distorts it. i can't live with that... any suggestions?
hamilton- your passion for life, love and encouragment amazes me. keep mocking me! i'll get it functional. you're a goon. oh, and get a cable connection... do a paper route or something. |

I didn't realize that those links were in Flash. The code above would only work with HTML. Now, you could very easily have that part of the page actually be HTML. Just make it the bottom part of a table or use frames. It could be seamless as far as that background graphic goes.
The other option is to call the javascript function for the pop-up from Flash. This is MUCH trickier. Either way, here is what Macromedia says to do:

There ya go.
