I did this a while back for a company which ended up not using it. :(

I have since sold the template to my brother for a company he owns.

I am just seeing if I can get any constructive criticism.

Website

I want to have the page resize to 100% the size of the flash, and I am still working on the layout for sub pages.

So any comments would be appreciated.

they are that way because they were done in photoshop and are raster. The flash is also resized so that adds to the problem.

But the logos/text was done for the company that wanted the flash originally, but they chose never to use it. soooo... oh well, mine to sell now...

Actually, it does need to be in flash.

When it is done the drop down table will be mouse activated so that it drops down when ever you get within a half inch of the menu area. Also all links and buttons are going to change color when it is rolled over.

The final website will have interactive 3D designs of some products where the giant logo is right now.

That would be pretty hard to accomplish the interactivity without using flash.

In my opinion that "interactivity" is not worth all of the bad stuff that comes along with Flash. Mouseovers can be done with CSS, as well as drop down menus, which would give the same effect, only with a fraction of the download time, and it would be compatible with every browser, and search engines would be able to see the content, and you could print the page, or copy paste from it, or navigate with the keyboard, etc etc.

Yeah, use CSS instead of flash.

CSS + XHTML > Flash

For your purposes atleast.
