Ok, a bit of beta testing if you will. This is my first ever flash website. I've learnt Flash in 3 days, and made this in 1, for a uni assignment. I have to demonstrate it on monday. I don't think it's half bad for my first ever site in such a short time. Please beta test it - see if you can crash it. See if anything goes wrong or anything looks odd.

It's 400kb, and has no loading screen (haven't got round to figuring out loading screens yet), but it should download quite quickly.

The one bug I am aware of is the music restarting when you navigate to a new screen. Anything else you discover, let me know.

Test logins to test out sales rep and engineer stuff are:
SaleRep username: danger password: mouse
Engineer username: inspector password: gadget

The site contents is loaded from external file ascii text files, which is why the displaying of a bit more text is a semi-big deal. This is all part of the assignment brief.

Feedback if you will.

EDIT: "Welcome" spelling error on first page fixed on my version at home.

well, I checked your math (using a calculator, of course), it's correct (the discounts and all)

Pretty cool system. Think perhaps get a Flash artist to just come in a add a little panash, or if you have Photoshop CS you can export better quality images
That would be the only gripe i have, image quality. ^_^

just been checking out some of you newer tunes,
some good stuff ... particularly like 'TimeMachine' think i'm gonna burn a CD so i can kill my car speakers

dont export bitmaps recreate them as vectors in flash.
why hampen the loading times with bitmaps that could be made in vector form. perhaps break down the site into preloading areas to alleviate loading times over the whole site.

good work so far.

Cheers for that guys.

@Ozzum - nice of you to bother checking my maths. hehe. Glad it's right.

@Raven - agreed. When i sat down to do that website, I'd never been creative in flash before. Before that I'd been going through a text book learning tools but not making anything myself, so I think it looks decent for a first try. Hopefully with practice I'll be able to get that special look. (Glad you like Time Machine btw - promo is in the hands of Lockdown recordings, so may come out on 12inch in the semi-near future)

@indi - thanks. Yeah, havent looked into preloading and seperating loading times yet. Another thing to learn. As for the bitmap, I agree. I did do that with the shape tweening on the first screen, but plumped for pure bitmaps for the products just so they don't look overly cartoony. 9 times out of 10 though - yep - trace the bastards.

That's a pretty cool site, But flash will basically do all that stuff for you. My 7 year old cousin could do the same.

Try using flash and doing the same and then you might have a clue what you're talking about. There is such a thing called ActionScript which is a programming language in Flash using a syntax similar to C, and there's a whole lot of that code in that program.

Ahh, the tune is blagged from a Moving Shadow CD. Shhhhh.

Using Macromedia Flash MX. That's what we have to use at uni. I don't even get to use it at home.
