I have uploaded my page to www.oliva.co.za/iqraa3/index-test.html but the ad.swf flash banner on the top doesnt load when the file is online but when i load the page locally it works fine. Any idea why its doing this?
Thanx

Ya i tried its not opening here too. Did you specify the path properly. Code sems ok. Would i be any problem with your server?

Have you uploaded the flash file to the correct path?

On the other hand really like the site design, hopefully the flash won't ruin it and will fit in

Finally works.. The url now is http://www.oliva.co.za/iqraa3/page.html does the banner on the top go with the design? any comments please

I like the design. Very nice.

Just one think that concerns me... The flash is nice, but, if I have to see it on every page it is going to get annoying. Do you plan on it being at the top of every page?

Just something to think about

Didnt think of that but now that you mention it i'll just keep it on the front page and have a normal jpeg logo on the rest. Reason i put it there is cos the customer wants ppl to know what the site is all about the moment the visit it. Thanx for your comment very well apreciated

Hello,
animation could be smoother and I'm not sure that header is right place for this kind of flash file, maybe at the bottom is better.
Just my opinion.

Really dont like the Flash TBH.

Jerky panning movement over the deli counter just doesn't work. A short zoom out might be acceptable if the whole animation lasted no more than 2 seconds.

A well designed jpeg banner would be just as effective.

I thought the same thing at first about the flash.

Then I thought about the market. A great old deli is not "high tech" and the flash kind of creates that mood.

Kind of reminds me of the intro to "Cheers" - simple, cartoonish, old fashion. I show about an old established bar and the intro works.

I think this Flash piece is not "high tech" and that this may be a good thing. It helps to convey an old establishment of business, which I am going to take a gander and say goes well with the food industry.

So.... I like the flash!

Sorry. Just noticed something. And, I'm sure this is premature because you are not finished with the content, but...

A big pet peeve of mine (as we are living in the 21st century and deal with "Global markets" and cell phones,) is that we should always, always, always put the area code on phone numbers. I know people who have a cell phone and the area code is different from their home phone, which is different from their work/business number, which is different from their husbands cell phone..

Never assume that people will know what your area code is. Always put the area code on phone numbers.
