What's the point of the website? I can't see. It looks like a links page that looks vaguely "cool". The text at the top is too small and pale against the background, and a lot of the text is too small. I'd rate it "average" in terms of web design. That's when I'm not getting the "loading" animation because each page takes so long to load, and then it slows down the rest of the computer once its loaded. Actually flicking through it, I'd put it down to "poor".
Isn't Actionscript just extended ECMAScript, i.e., extended Javascript? I don't do Flash, if you hadn't guessed. I've seen so many abuses of Flash, and so many glitzy, but rubbish websites done in it, that I think that people lose their focus when they're using it for purposes for which it isn't best suited for. Including the website you link to as an example of good Flash use! Thinking outside the proverbial box is great if you end up with something good. Sadly, it looks like arty toss to me.
And since when is Actionscript the reason that Google can search things? I'm sure that Google had to write custom code to tear apart the flash files to analyse the text portions. Can Google link directly to a page hidden deep within a Flash website?
it's not the site itself which i love but all the incredible sites they feature - alkmost all of which are created in flash.
