Hey looks good. By any chance did you use Flash, or Swish to make that site?

Also, I don't think I noticed a loading sequence. So there was just a blank white screen. Some people might think the link doesn't work because they are on 56k and have to wait a bit. Maybe best to put a preloader in so that people know it is working.

But otherwise looks flippin good mate. Well done

I'm the guy who made the site. It's made with flash 5.0. and it has a loading screen but for some reason it dont work, I'm currently trying to fix it.

Trajan's Dragoons website is having a makeover. So far I have only re-done the intro page. Tell me what you think.

Far better then the original voice site, now all you need is to work on your forums, no offense but those are horrid, registering is a nightmare, work on something simple, fast and eficient.

Nice intro Trajan...although in my opinion the background is too...plain... Maybe you can put a lightly couloured background? Just my opinion though.

Well I thought its only 2:45am so why not do the whole website again. So I did. Admittedly it is smaller than the original it holds all the key factors that the clan needs. check it out here

Do say if you like it please.

P.S. I kinda modelled it on the Voices website hope you dont mind guys.

HHHMMM, anyone who knows how to use Swish or even Flash at a pinch could you see if you can solve my problem.

Firstly I have all my nice .swf's working on the site, but when I use the links on the left hand side, they dont open where I have told them to open, but in a completely new window!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Anger)

If you have seen my site (here) The links on the left, are supposed to go to the space top right. Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanx in advance

Trajan

Hey Trajan,

I tried going on your site through the intro (index) page (the link you posted 2 posts ago) and when i click "Enter" it goes to a "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" page. I tried refreshing it and going back and clicking Enter again many times...nada.

So I tried going on your site through the home page (the link you posted on the previous post) and when i get there...I see two "Loading"s waving about. Then the right "Loading" finished and I clicked it for news, while the left one continued loading. Also, I see 6 (or was it 7) banners to the right of the scroller...I'm not sure if it's intended to be there or if it's an error.

First of all your preloader for the left hand frame seems to be stuck in an infinite loop.
second. I think your I know what wrong with the frame loading thing, it appears that the left hand frame and the right hand frame are seperate SWF files. if this is the case then a number of problems could be factoring into the error, I recommend you use only one file for you movie, i'd go into detail on what to do and stuff, but i simply dont have the time to do that much typing :/

P.S. I've updated the the voice site, some one tell me if the new preloader is working or not.

Ok, I think Im scraping the Flash idea. Its too much like hard work.

I couldnt see the preloader yet mate. Keep trying tho. What I get is a blank white screen where the .swf is surrounded by the black background of the page.

Dont give up on flash, once you get used to it you will find that its a fairly user friendly development tool. If you need help with it try http://www.flashkit.com/index.shtml there is alot of useful info there.

oh and BTW. the preloader should work now since I figured out what the problem was with it.

Thanx man. I took your advice and now I have a new improved site made with Flash(Swish). I'm hoping it works. Same url as before.

Tell me what you think. I have narrowed it down to two .swf files. An intro and a site.

Hope it works.

The preloader works fine now. Nice bit of flash you got there.

Post Wed Aug 27, 2003 8:07 am

Not bad. a couple of problems though, the link in your intro to the main page doesn't work and the pie chart nav thing you got going there looks a little sloppy. Other than that its a well made site.
