Here is a screenshot of the main menu of my multimedia project. Let me know what you think. And no, the word "SAMPLE" isn't on the final project.

only one thing would make it look cooler...

a pic of me instead of 3PO

Well, allow me to describe everything a bit better.

That pic of C3PO is actually a film loop. Basically, it contains I think 7 pictures that cycle through and then loop. I used this technique in quite a few areas.

The grey border around the movie is the sound control window. The buttons in the upper-left hand corner are for the sound control, track navigation, and volume control. I currently have 4 SW songs playing int he project. If I have time I will add more. The X in the upper-right hand corner closes the program.

The blue buttons along the left hand side take you to their respective sections. Eac sections has it's own sub-sections (Species has sub-sections about Bothans, Humans, Ithorians, etc).

The text fades in on the main menu and has similar fade in/out effects on other sections of text throughout the project.

In case anyone is wondering, all the graphics are either home-made creations by myself or screenshots that I have edited for the project. If you take a stroll through the New Player Guide, Screenshot Archive, or the Screenshot of the Day list on the SWG web site you will see most if the screenies I used.

Project Complete!!!!

Final file size: 189MB (ZIP File)

I'll try to find a place to upload it tomorrow. Seeing as how it is 1:30AM right now, I need some sleep.

By the way, if anyone wants a copy on CD, I'll be glad to burn one for ya. All you have to do is send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope that is large enough to hold a CD. If you are interested, send me a PM and I'll give ya some more details.

I'd take the time to download it if you uploaded it to a site, not sure if I am patient enough to wait for a CD reply hehe.

I am uploading my project to a web storage site right now. Hopefully it will work and in a little bit you all can start downloading it.
