    I've created a very simple e-Christmas card for some of my friends (yours will all be coming nearer the date:hehe:) and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to click on the link and tell me if it works the same in your web browser as it does in mine:lollol:

    it's two flash objects with a music track which auto plays in the background it should look like this

    Many Thanks!

    Yes that's fine capney =] I can adjust the message for you as well if you'd would like? or anything really, as it was just done in impress on OpenOffice

    Thanks everyone ^^ I can start the emailing now

    Edit*

    I've doubled the minimum and maximum size of the snow flakes now and they do look better already. I was a bit concerned whether to include them at all actually as it's a bit of an ancient piece of javascript I found on the web and I have my doubts whether it will work in safari or firebox on a mac... but hopefully it dies gracefully and doesn't effect the music or card

    thats strange...

    what internet speed do you have? and what web browser were you using? and on what operating system (windows xp, vista, 7...):lol: oh and when was the last time you updated flash?


    the image is actually a flash slideshow and is actually only about 100kb big so it shouldn't of needed to load at all really


    Thanks in advance

    Works just fine using Firefox but when tried under IE all I got was the song and progress bar.
    Running XP service pack 3 on reasonably fast ADSL.
