Finito

Or almost finished.

Today we planned to upload it- the address is vanitas.freehostia.com

We tried various ways- via the subdomain file manager, straight from Dreamweaver and also using FTP agent in the person of FileZila and... nothing.

Also technician had a look on that but it did not help. I hope to see him tomorrow when he is (fingers crossed) less busy and try to sort it.

Posters will be displayed at university soon- app. till the end of this week. Also the group on Facebook is just about to come out of the shadow.

Coz there's not much time left before it gets too late...

Screenshots

I made few screenshots of the almost finished project.

Playing with the publish settings in Flash I examined few different options and thought that publishing it directly to HTML with dimensions expressed in percents will be the best solution. After completion of the publishing process I edited it in Dreamweaver where using the 'Split' option I pasted a code which is responsible for the countdown visible on the right.


I did some tests with placing SWF in table in Dreamweaver, but I think it just looks better when it takes the most of the space in the browser window.

I have few things I would like to change before submission.
1) Get rid of the scroll bar in the home/about section and replace it with cutomised arrow scrolling as in the store section. It fits with the idea of an arrow logo also used in different context within the project.
2) Rework the buttons in the home section. They should all have the same colour of font (white) whereas one has black font. It would be a nice idea to have varied tones of gray button backgrounds with white font on each of these.
3) 'Welcome to our store' should be placed a bit lower.
4) Drawing pad- if the audience does not clear the stage after drawing, the doodles stay visible across other parts of the movie... Not really desired effect. Need to find a solution!
