Solid work .. i'd bump the font size up a little.... Quite hard to read the projects.

Yeah, I'm with Leigh on the font size – its far too small, makes it extremely difficult to read.
Also, seeing as you're using the sort of Eatock-frame layout, I am wondering why this isnt a gorified Eatock, built in HTML/DHTML? It would be much lighter and smoother – sure you would loose some flashy-capabilities, but you aren't really making use of them anyway.
As for showing the work, I think it makes more sense for you to preface with design piece itself – for instance the Levis book – rather than the photography which you outsourced. This is simply in relation to how you tell the story of the work.

still nothing for me. just pure white nothingness

doesn't load in xp/ff for me, xp/ie6 works fine, like the work, type might be a bit small

FF/Win - pure #FFFFFF
IE7/Win - the font is not the most legible one out there, flash scrollbar behaves weird - slow/jumpy when dragging, ok when releasing. Actually, the scrollbar is quite ugly.
The site's shape and content doesn't really justify using Flash.

FF on a PC... white screen and thats it

just white for me too, on a mac, firefox.
nice poster n' cards in grafik this month tho!

why have you killed my scrollwheel?
why is the loader buggy? like it goes back a bit while loading. annoying.
but i guess it was meant to be funny.
other then that ok.

Works on IE6 not FireFox

Thanks for the comments – I didn't build it, none of us here can do web stuff so we outsourced it to a friend of the boss. He gave us a content management system that we can update easily, but have enough freedom to design our own pages, hence the simple way it works.
But yes, that's worrying f it doesn't show in firefox.

site by franki & jonny

work is nice though.
but i'd stick with keeping it html.
clean & simple.solid work like yours does not need flash whizzbang imho
- acescence0
i think it actually looks best if you turn javascript off and it sends you into the html-only version

why do most people think flash automatically has to be associated with "flashy"?
can't see past the name?
