This is a Vers2 website for a hotel. No photo's because the place
isn't fully built yet.
The scripting should be finished before I do any more animation.
I'd love some feedback on the feel of it. Any lock ups? Browser
issues.
Do you hate it? Hope its not one of the 99% crap flash.
No preloader.. its 100k.

Loved it. Nicely done. It rolls fine on my celeron 400. And 56k.
One thing though, if I may, I didn't like the pink leaves. Looks a bit
unrealistic. And the water surface in the distance could be a bit darker.
Anyway, excellent.

Thanks for the Reply.
The realism's out of the window here.
Its hard to make it look real and out of vectors.
The colour does need to be addressed though.. and the shape of the
momji tree leaves.. and the little dragonfly that comes in to sit on
the rock.
If there's anyone that knows how to script a movieclip to play after 5
seconds..
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

That was refreshingly origional, and the concept works nicely. Excellent
loading time, nice work.

Thanks for your nice words.
I wanna hear some harsh ones now.
Designfish site has that nice simple menu bar I want.
Pointlessly clickable though.
Text boxes should be on whole numbers to ease the blurryness.
You got swift free of charge ??!! Good work mate.
I'm off to learn variables so the pages on quietrocks don't load on passing.
Keep 'em coming... Its appreciated.

Really beautiful site.... I want to go there!
I really like the movement of the plants in the breeze.
Hope that the current troubles over there don't affect you too much.
Only one very small point - scroll bar arrows are tiny - which is fine, as
much bigger would spoil the feel, but you could add a transparent hit-area -
say 10by10 pixels to the buttons to make it easier to use the buttons.
Wishing you every success,
Ed

Strife in Costrica? I'm in london and the retreat is in the mountains.
Thanks for comments Ed.
The scroll bars are something I've been looking around for.
This one's something downloaded and edited.. You're right about them being
too small.
I'll change them to look more 2D & bigger.
