Thanks for the encouraging comments marvilla. I just found an article tonight on Flash user's over doing it and the reasons why flash has a bad rap in some peoples minds. :) Its true, and I agree 100% that it can be way over done. So far I think I am on the right track with the site - I am in the process of breaking it down into bit size chunks, here is the stats so far: The "Main Menu" - 24k "Gallery " - 45k per section w/ links to full images "Animations" - 30k "Models" - 25k w/links to download .zip files "Tutorials" - 7k w/links to html site + interactive flash content. "Contact" - 5k Each section loads seperate from all else to avoid over extensive load times.
