Eww you guys don't use IE? Thats disgusting. That like totally makes me wanna barf up my lungs and hope they get eaten by a pack of hungry goats being chased by a gay doctor wearing pampers eating bananna bread produced by rabid ant farmers from outer space who used to live on planet X. Jeez.
I don't know if this will be able to top the way ffr is now (except for the cursor- I like that, it should be added) but if you want it at all usable, add a trasparent circle to each of those movieclips for the categories, so that people don't have to click the thin letters perfectly to grab them. I like some of your ideas, but I sorta like ffr right now how it is. I think their menu could be more usable, but I don't think the dragging thing is a better replacement.. but keep working with it.
How did you do the the swinging type deal on the pointer? Did you make the _rotation proportional to the difference between the mouse and the clip's position? that's cool. I think I understand, but still, very cool.
Thanks all for the critique and comments and .....whatever you call good comments. If I took some time on it, I could probably make it a lot better than anything you could do Chardish. ;P I may not work in graphic design as of this time, but I have some Uber sw33t c0ding skills on my side, And I don't see why that cursor makes "A site unprofessional" Your just crazy. =P You can't really say it makes it look unprofessional without a reason.
