This was supposed to be an introduction to a portfolio website for my Interactive Media class; but I got a bit carried away!
The design had to feature my name (which is spelt out in the negative space between the mushrooms and the fireflies!) I did put this in intros, but I guess its not yet really, as there's no buttons or anything.
There's a lot room for improvement (the gap inbetween the S and the O, and the scraggy edges of the mushrooms - both of which bother me greatly!) But as this was my first ever Flash, I don't consider it TOO hideous!
It will take a few seconds to start... This is before I understood load bars!
That's really awesome, you're gonna have to teach me how to use flash properly
It could probably go faster though, with less of a gap between the mushrooms moving and fireflies arriving. At the moment it takes about 45 seconds to play through where as it should probably take 20 tops.

Hey you! Thanks for commenting! I'm not so good with flash... this took far longer than it should! Still, I'm proud theres some actionscript in there, (the b*stard language!) makes it seem like I know what I'm doing!
I was trying to get the movement to sync up with the music, and for it to be all mellow and chilled, but I see what you mean about it just being a bit lengthy and slow... and that gap bugs me now!! Maybe I should have used different music?
See you spoon!
Maybe, it's just that if it's going to be on a website, you want it to say what it needs to say quickly because a lot of people will pass it over if it's too long and all it is is a title.
As it is, fitting to music I'm sure it's fine, but as an introduction to a portfolio site I get the feeling that people will have skipped to the actual gallery of work before it's even finished its animation.

This is very nice. I can't do flash to save my life, so it's nice see simple flash animations. My only critique would be that there is one mushroom in which the bottom looks a bit weird, almost as if it were a bad scissor cutting. Still Very Nice...
Yeah, its cause they're still bitmaps, and the edges are all scraggley! I can't do vectors!! *Mournful wail!*
Thankyou very much for commenting - I'm glad you like it despite the ikky edges! Hope you're happy and well. Love!
The jagged edges aren't really prominent at all, unless one were purposely to go and look for shortcomings. In which case you can totally pull it off as pixel art.
