Just who exactly are you quoting?

Apparently not you, so don't worry about it =)

What is this "it" that gets downloaded?

I appreciate your concern for my grammar. It = "flash" = Macromedia Flash Player.

What does my resolution have to do with my window size?

For most people, the window size is set to 'maximized'. Sorry to have not conformed to your particular tastes - hey, I can't please everyone.

5kb/s? I usually peaked at three, and 18 seconds is far too long.

I usually peak at 5.5kb/s. These are luxury condos anyway, they potential buyers ought to have broadband.

Quote:
Are you having a brainfart?

Yep

Quote:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Thanks for bringing that to my attention; I just fixed it.

The rest isn't worth replying to. (Not that I don't appreciate the time spent on reviewing...)

To ausmeister:

The site works with Flash 5 I believe, correct me if I'm wrong...

Also, there isn't much text on the site, so I don't know about CSS - but I will explore that option just in case =) Thanks!

To Dubya:

Offended? Never....
About everything else you said, I completely agree, it will have to be changed soon, client permitting.

To daremedy:

Yep, thanks for the comments!


Thanks all!

The integration of Flash and XML is a perfect solution to the modern website (excluding search engine optimization.)


uuhh, PHP and MySQL are way better solutions if you're trying to change things easily since that's server side and not client side. that will help SEO as well. Also, allowing people to view XML will do little good as very few people know how or have the software to view an XML file so it doesn't look like a bunch of useless text unless it's parsed by something (ie flash or PHP.) Also, if you're really into XML, PHP can output XML as well.

And, if you insist on using all flash, how about don't preload all of it before anything loads so you don't have to stare at a preloader for a while if you have a slower connection.
