Hi Leovenous:
Thanks for the input. I put the preloaders in to let people know that the page is loading (and for them not to go away). Some people don't use preloaders because a page is small and they figure people will wait. The preloaders also show the percentage of the movie that's been loaded. There is also a "skip the flash movie" button on the lower right side of the movie.
Nonetheless, I got the theme from the Terminator3 web site (kind of) mixed with my own storyline of an alien breaking into the computer's cpu trying to steel the goods. Like if you have an alarm in your house and a robber tries to steel your goods. The alarms checks certain safety zones to make sure everything is secure and working properly. The camera may show the kitchen, which is empty. Then, it zooms in on a couple sleeping and suddenly awakes when they hear the alarm go off. Then, it shoots over to the police responding to the alarm at Central Station. Then, you see the robber trying to take the goods and he gets caught. It doesn't always tell you the entire storyline in one shot.
I didn't want to make it too long and I wanted to sort of give it the game edge/feel (like Kevin said) because I like games. I like Flash's vector drawing tools. I didn't want to design it in Illustrator and then import everything in Flash. It seemed like double the work.
I will definitely cut trim the image size down so that it loads faster on the homepage and a few other pages because I want to accommodate all surfers (dial up to T3).
Leovenous, do you work professionally in 3D?
Holla!
