Please give me some feedback on
ArtzYard Art Gallery
I am very far from being an expert in Flash, although a while back I did invest in Swish Max - which I have to say is very good value for money, and very powerful (although it could be a tad easier to use for newbies)..
I shied away form using flash for a long time as I felt it usually did not add anything to a web site.
But recently a client wanted a simple slide show type thing on the home page as they had seen this done elsewhere on similar sites.
I am quite pleased with the result personally.
I have also made an effort to keep the code as clean as possible - here is the relevant bit below:-
<div id="rightimage">
<object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="john-mcsorely-art-movie.swf"
width="240" height="328">
<param name="movie" value="john-mcsorely-art-movie.swf" />
<img src="john-mcsorely1.jpg" alt="Painting By John McSorely" WIDTH="240" HEIGHT="328" />
</object>
<P ALIGN="CENTER">Pictures in an Exhibition, John McSorely,<BR>14 June – 9 July 2008</P>
</div>
The home page works perfectly in IE7 and Firefox on Windows Vista.
It also works perfectly on Firefox, Opera, Safari on Windows XP.
The ONLY fly in the ointment for me is IE7 on Windows XP..
For some reason, just for a split second, before the slideshow starts, I get the following :-
Which is really bugging the hell out of me.
Is there a simple solution to this?
I don't really want to spend hours messing around with scripts etc...
Any help is much appreciated...
