Hello!
With the help of this forum's members I've managed to create this website leannemallinder.co.uk It took a while but I figured out how to get the background images to scale and maintain quality. What I need to know now is how to stop the the links and description boxes from scaling automatically as well? On a normal sized screen they look ok but at work I have a 24" Imac and they look far too too big. I hope you can help! Leanne |

Looking at the site, is there any particular reason to use Flash? CSS could do the same job. If you PM me one of the images then I'll do a quick CSS mockup, it would be more SEO and accessible as well.

Only because I've not done a lot of web design and I've only really used flash. I'd like to learn other ways but when I'm doing it on my own and learning as I go it would take far longer. As it's so nearly finished I'd like to stick with what I've done so far. I may try something different when I redesign it again.

I've found a good example of what I'm hoping to achieve
Edge and Barrett | Branding, Design, Content On their home page the background image scales but the links remain the same size. Any help on how to do this would be great! Leanne |

Another problem I am having it that it is not loading as quickly as I would like. The swf is quite large over 20MB. I've resaved all the images as very high rather than maximum in photoshop and I have compressed the jpgs in Flash. I'm not sure what I can do to reduce the file size even more without losing the image quality.
Any help would be great Leanne |

you need to load backgrounds or other images dynamically only when needed |

It's all the images I'm using. I found some tips yesterday on how to reduce the file size like not using the imported jpeg data but that didn't make any difference. There was a tip on loading the images dynamically but I didn't have time to try it last night. I'll give that a go but I have a feeling it may take me a while to get it right.

hire a professional to do it unless you're actually planning on learning ActionScript seriously.
