FLASH: Feedback for Wm3 ... http://www.webmedia.co.nz

[Matthew Buchanan]

Thanks for your initial feedback, the good and the bad. With the amount

of content in the site our obvious choice was for a large window,

however it's not a true full-screen window, its size is based on the

available screen width and height reported by the browser, so won't

obscure your toolbar, etc. if these are open. Additionally, you can set

the window size in the user profile section of the main menu, and the

site will open to this preferred size next time you visit. We will add

a "Go 800x600" button to the preloader section for the full-screen

allergic.


Addressing other feedback:

We'll address this issue in the next little while. We believe it occurs

when ActiveX updates the revision of the Flash plug-in to r28, then

returns the user to the site's loading page. But you may have had

this plug-in version already, Michael?

There is a history function, it grows out from the left side of the

screen as you open document windows. It does not record other

areas of the site, however.

We're working on generating images into our content windows.

There is a prefs option on the left side of the screen near the top, which

allows you to set colours and/or background images for the site.

These are all remembered when you return using the same browser.

It doesn't run as fast on the Mac, even on our two G4s. Similarly

spec'ed PCs seem to eat it up though; seems the Flash plug-in works

faster in Windows browsers. Is this a known scenario?




Stay tuned, there's plenty more to be added in the near future.
