Now ya see, right there I'm disagreeing and I think that's like some
kind of old net tale. Doing only parts in Flash and the rest in HTML,
JavaScript, etc is just gonna lead to a whole slew of problems. I
know cause I've been experimenting with such usage. The biggest
problems are synchronization related, especially with animated
elements. After awhile you suddenly realize you're putting in 10
times as much effort trying to get all this different crap to work
together when, huh, why not just do it all in Flash? Like last night
I'm workin on all this different shit and suddenly I'm just like,
"What the fuck am I doing?" It's like what I was working on could
just be so easily integrated into just one whole Flash file with so
little extra effort and I was just stumped to find a reason why I
shouldn't do it. I mean, really, what is the reason(s)? o_O

On the whole I find Google to be a very poor means of "advertisement".
I'm curious, did you actually track the redirect stats to find out
where the users were coming from? Somehow I seriously doubt the
majority of them were from Google results. In fact I'm betting the
majority came directly from the web boards and Usenet groups.

Or I could just center it in wide screen and then the sides would look
cut off for 800x600 users (not really any getting around that unless I
want to make everything else go uber small for 800x600 users).
