Boards Banner

Figment

While learning Actionscript in Flash i came up with this.Appart from the timing needing to be played with what do y'all think?
The Boards posts/quotes are randomly brought in from external text files so they are easily updated.
It might be nice to set it up to grab the posts straight from boards itself.

Well, i think its finished, appart from a little bug.
The quotes and links are now being loaded from one text file and link direct to the post. And it should be more readable and best of all its file size is now smaller.
Its still a little bigger than a normal banner (38k) but i have that traced down to one image.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Yeah its the boards guy. I have him as a vector file already by the trace bitmap command in flash i just made him more detailed than he needs to be. Ill fix it in the next one.

Excellent stuff...

any way the text can be sharpened up a bit?

about all I'd do with the timing is allow more time for the reading of the message.
