Site check for my first Flash site please...

Would seriously appreciate any comments, suggestions good and bad - Honesty being the key here.
Its my first Portfolio and my first go at a Flash site.
Sort of finished. It just needs some tweeking, spellchecks and some kind of music stop button.

My main worry is the text. I still havn't sussed out the outline text stuff fully so if its blurry, unreadable please let me know.

Please don't moan about the music...I'm still working on it

Here you go

Hmm, seems pretty cool, although the splash page wasn't very clear. One the loading screen, I would consider slowing down the animation a little, it is good but to fast. (or remove it if possible) the problem with your site being in flash is it takes a while to load and people are unlikely to stick around and wait to see what it's like.

Open the page in the same window as the splash page.

Right now I am finally on it. I dont like the passport on it.
Your ideas are good, I like the mouse overs etc but hate the passport and how they surround it. And lose the monkey on that main site, lose the music all together and clear up the text.

You have good animations, but the design deffinatly needs to be improved a lot more.

Good luck,
Daniel.

Your sound off switch doesn't work for me. Turn that music off!!!

Your animation to begin with is pretty cool (once I managed to get the site to load ), although, agreeing with DanielOliver, the Passport idea seems, a little odd to me.

The navigation is really confusing, and you also cannot read your font very well, change the font please.

You have a few random pictures on your navigation which have no explanation... Perhaps create a rollover bar as seen on this website.

Overall it's a pretty good website, as your graphics work is obviously top-notch, but if you chagne the font, then I might be a little more convinced. 4 / 5.

This looks like the portfolio of a teenager. Whether it is or not is not the question. I dont know how many people would hire someone who has a preloader of a monkey going to the bathroom. If this were a personal site for your friends, then great, but the site was an extremely slow load (on a high speed connection), which means I had to stare at the monkey for much longer than I wanted to. I'd try to find another theme to your site than a "pooping monkey" if you want to give off a professional image.

the fonts are realy hard to read, i couldnt read them anywhere on the site.

there are some free pixle fonts on http://www.fontsforflash.com/

the monky is cheesy and put me off

and it takes way to long to load. You should stear clear of using images that much in flash, it justs makes things realy slow to load. If you have to use them in sepreate swfs and load them in as needs be.
