It shows you've got a lot of talent with flash, but it's way too busy for a website. It takes too long to get to the menu and is too complicated. Websites aren't supposed to be like playing Command&Conquer.

They look terrible. I would ditch every one of those self-portrait glamour shots. And put a shirt on. You seem a little too obsessed with yourself. Try taking a picture of yourself smiling or something. Use one picture, you dont need a hundred pics of yourself posing.

Also, is it Danny or Daniel Casio... pic one. Thats just me tho, it bugs me.

The graphics aren't the greatest. There needs to be less effects. It seems messy. I hate to be blunt but, some people just don't have the eye for design man. Just keep practicing.

I can't get the script right :(

In a new/separate movieClip, create 2 keyframes ... 1st one contains the attached code below. 2nd keyframe should gotoandPlay(1) so that it refreshes the clock every second (or faster depending on your fps). Once you have this new movieClip created, place this movieClip onto the main timeline and name it "datevar".

Here's the AS code I used mentioned for keyframe 1... of course you're going to tweak it to use just the time without the date in yours:
myDate = new Date();
// Format Month
if (myDate.getMonth() == "0") {
theMonth = "January";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "1") {
theMonth = "February";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "2") {
theMonth = "March";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "3") {
theMonth = "April";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "4") {
theMonth = "May";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "5") {
theMonth = "June";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "6") {
theMonth = "July";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "7") {
theMonth = "August";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "8") {
theMonth = "September";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "9") {
theMonth = "October";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "10") {
theMonth = "November";
} else if (myDate.getMonth() == "11") {
theMonth = "December";
}
// Format minutes
if (myDate.getMinutes()<"10") {
newMinutes = "0"+myDate.getMinutes();
} else {
newMinutes = myDate.getMinutes();
}
// Format seconds
if (myDate.getSeconds()<"10") {
newSeconds = "0"+myDate.getSeconds();
} else {
newSeconds = myDate.getSeconds();
}
dateVar = (theMonth+" "+myDate.getDate()+" {"+myDate.getHours()+":"+newMinutes+":"+newSeconds+"}");

Please. The Flash craze is over. Stop making flash sites that are like 5 mb in size and take forever to load.

What's good HTML design is a little photoshop plus HTML and is under 60kb. If a page doesn't load in 6 seconds, ur owned.

my problem was the gotoAndPlay (1); ,I left that out. Same with the loading screen, once I figured it out, It helped me understand lots of cool scripts that run in real time.

You couldn't do it in a million years.

Believe what you want. I've tried to help but you seem dead set against actually learning site design. You're more interested in stupid flash tricks that come off looking amateurish, overdone, and very unuseful in a real world setting outside of making parents or immediate friends impressed.

I wanted my site to look as I designed it, when I make pro sites they look different. I asked for advice on making my design better, not stupid comments like 'scrap it start over' as that won't help. Anyone could say start over from scratch, not anyone could help the design become better..

I offered tips and you weren't interest. Just one more before I give up here. You have a text pane fly out and intro text. Click the menu, then click a topic and another window pane comes out with text, all on top of what was previously there. Horrible design technique. Hell, you can get 3 on there right now...maybe more, I didn't check.

Seriously, I've said you can do some flash work. But, none of it really benefits the site. Flash can be used productively and it can be used destructively. You seem hellbent on using 101 different whiz-bang effects that distract and annoy much more than they help.

I'm out. Take care man.

rh71.com - it's in my sig. I haven't touched it (code-wise in 3 years though). About the code, yeah it can be condensed, and the time part is only 5 or 6 lines of what I posted.

If I did that, then what do I have a close button for? Windows is that way, so I tried to make it the same.

its a great site, If you didn't use gradients so much. You should replace that with textured gradients atleast. I'm interested in pwd scripts, could geocities let me do pwd scripts?

Just wanted to point out your reluctance to incorporate professional and sound design techniques here.

Later man.
