Sheesh, although what I saw looked cool, they don't even have the mime

type set right for flash on the server.  It completely hung on the

preloader (the "unloader", which is a cute idea) and never did do the

mouseovers you describe above. Clever designers, not so clever network

people.  Sorry to rant -- doesn't help you much with your question, but

it seems that people doing a commercial site like that should at least

know enough to make sure their server is set up right...
