Comments, observations, cheers/jeers are all welcome...
This is the first 'meaty' flash project I've done in a while. The majority of the animation sequences were done using the "lmc_tween" extension.
I did this as a side project in order to flex some of the creative muscles that largely go unused for my primary employer's clients. But those projects all gave me a lot of the technical skills necessary to pull off the advanced scripting necessary.

very nice aesthetic, well done!
some of the fading in-out happened a little too slowly, notably on the 100% loaded screen in the beginning, as well as in the synopsis when I click 'next'. I might suggest going with scrolling for these longer text parts, or at least speeding the process of reading up somehow.
Beautiful design, and overall tight.

I would reccomend getting rid of the:
\/embed \/object \/div
at the bottom of the page

Okay, shame on me, didn't test in FF for Mac. I work on a Powerbook and use Safari. Most of my testing focused on major browsers for PC.
Thanks for the heads up, though!

Nice work. I would consider developing some custom text scrollers instead of using hte Flash Componet default styles, it's taking away from your design.

i agree w/you on the scrollers... unfortunately the job was essentially pro-bono, and i had to sacrifice a lot of smaller touches in order to keep myself sane while moonlighting.

figured it might be, that's cool. can you speed up the transitions a bit though? it'd be a cheap fix to maintain continuity while user is reading...

hey mester, i just found out it's my version of FF wit da flash plugin, for some reason, she no want to work right. so it is my bad, pero, you might want to see your npflash.html page as there is no image that i can see, only the pdfs.
overall, she looks like a nice design, and for probono! i think she is a real winner...

I can see the Vembed and all of that on Firefox PC as well.
