Which version of IE are you using? I have the latest version, and I get the same as in Safari and Chrome: a panorama view of a clothes shop and some pounding music - until the picture reaches the place where the fire extinguisher is attached to the wall, then it speedily revolves around the shop twice and starts again. I tried FF, and I get the shop but not the music.

Yes, well, I think I do too...
The page eventually shows in IE8 also, but it just takes for ever to load!
It downloaded almost 5 MB just to see the scrolling image, and then I got bored before even seeing any kind of navigation system...
Do you really think that customers would have that kind of patience?

Yeah you are probably right but the picture that scrolls only has 500kb, maybe its to much for people with a slow connection...The thing is that the music is really big and i cant find a way to make it smaller! :|

Well i was seeing the site in IE7 , thats why i wasn't being able to see it correctly... Any tips to help my site to be seen on any kind of browser? :/

I have FF 3.5.5 and i got the same problem like in IE7. The picture that scrolls appear and the content doesn't.

Do you really think that customers would have that kind of patience?


I wouldn't!:P

Thanks for the support!

This website is all fur coat and no knickers. I actually think it looks good but the navigation is hopeless. I believe flash should only be used sparingly on sites. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to.

Was there a navigation at all? I didn't see any, in none of the browsers I tried...

Of course, the loading took forever, especially the music. I didn't see anything that interested me, I was only checking to see if I could find anything wrong.

If the idea is to make a panorama vision of a shop, I would have made it much smaller, only as a part of a page where the other contents would be where is this, why should you shop there, who is the owner...etc... etc... and then of course some navigation system to subpages with details of the items you are selling.

Sorry
but I would suggest a complete re design of your site. On XP IE 7 the panorama view just loops round and round , I presume your site is selling clothes, but its not tellingme that.
There is ino navigation to exit or move to another page. People will just think your site is in a loop.
Start with a home page that loads quickly, a brief explanation of what your site is about and some navigation butons to move around the site.
then develop from there

This is odd. I use "Tab Scope" with Firefox to see thumbnails of pages when the mouse hovers over the tabs when multiple pages are open. I can't see anything but the scrolling background in the actual Firefox page, but the navigation does seem to be visible in the thumbnail...

Hello everyone, i want to say that i sorted the problem. Well i found some z-index solution on the web that would let me see the content on the browsers. i also made the main content become html and css and not flash...i really want to keep the flash background and the sound...should i take the sound out? there is a way to make it smaller?

You really should lose the sound or you'll lose potential customers instead. If that isn't an option for some reason, then use something a bit quieter/softer.
