I finished a very early version of my site. It will play my demo reel, which needs a lot of work, and then other videos I have done. I still need to edit the script to make it repeat the videos or give the option to repeat and I also plan to add my print work that I have done, even though it isn’t anything that I would like to do for a career.

The site is my first attempt at ActionScript 3, which is very interesting. They now use a complete Object Oriented Programming model that is based off the same markup language as JavaScript. I have always had a desire to learn to program but usually get burnt out when I can no longer find the answers to make the program work. However, I was really motivated this time and took this to completion.

The site uses an XML file to load the videos through a net connection. It gives me the flexibility to easily add and remove videos from the playlist, which I think is very nice. It also scales to fit the screen, so large or small anyone can have full screen. This will really be cool when the new Flash Player with H264 support comes out next year, because the quality will be even better at full screen.

Please let me know what you think. I appreciate any criticism, it will help me improve the site.
