Today I finished my website and handed it in for marking. It can also be seen on http://www.arctosdesign.com/digital4/index.html
And all other files I have made over the course of the assignment can be seen at http://www.arctosdesign.com/digital4

I did get an error on my website when you click on a link and the page loads it has some button error but everything appears to work fine so I am not phased to much by that and will look in to that when I am more relaxed and have less work on but at the moment the site functions perfectly fine online which is good and I am happy with it.
I will also still look into blue screening myself on to the island to roam around as that whole idea of things in my head and imagination.
sweet well then this is me signing out.

OK so...I have been wee bit busy and have been working quite hard to come up with a website I can be happy with.
I had two ideas and both were really good I thought. MY first was to have a Full Screen Slide Show that would also have links to a Gallery, Links,About and Contact page. Which in it's self was very simple and I manages to get working. But since there is no decent way of getting help with flash coding I Had a problem with centering other content on the page along with the slide show and that was really the key to making that website work well. So about 3 hrs away from finishing the website I can to kick it in because there was simply no way I would get the help or advice I needed from forums, discussion groups of videos to help me so I resigned my self to the fact that it was to complicated for me at the moment.
However my second I dea which I thought was going to be the more complex idea turned out to be a far simpler method and one in which I could experiment with my flash knowledge building the entire website (apart from the AS box ...lightbox effect for gallery and scroll in the news section) by my self which is nice as I feel it works, loads and runs smoothly and has a really nice look about it that is relatively me.
I do have some enhancements I would like to do in the future one of them being taking some green screen footage of my self walking around and place me on the island doing random things...perhaps on click or rollover actions to which would be sweet.I would also like to make the contacts phone a bit more noticeable and add tool tips for the various buttons on the island saying various things. But I simply don't have time at the moment and to rush those elements would rune what I have got at the moment.
I will put a link to a copy of both the failed website and the one I am going to go with next time I post.
