Seriously. Have you ever seen a dark room not being light up from a good flashlight?

The problem is the logo itself is dark and it looks a bit odd a dark logo with a really bright background.Try making the "black sun" into a ... "lightblue sun" (lightside-based)! ...BlackSun is kinda too dark for KR - even though it looks great
Pho~
EDIT: After taking a second look at it, I realized, instead of making the logo black, (then lightblue-blue glow around it) into darkness (black) make it... stay bright! ><
Well it has been awhile since this has been updated.
Pho and I have been working on this (as requested) and we have the update running...just not up yet - expect that sometime this week.
But here is a quick preview for all the KR members and also guests and outsiders.
This flash video page will load when you come to visit our site in the coming days:

Yes we are currently working on the lag issue, once that's solved then it should be good to go. (Preloader)
Thank you for all the compliments
Thank you for all the compliments
Ok, this should be the final draft if everything is working.
Jawfin helped out a lot with the preloader, so all that credit goes to him
Thanks Jaws

it was playing instantly before because it had already been downloaded into your cache. As the movie hadn't changed in the last few weeks, you wouldn't remember its initial wait. The file size is the same, and if you watch it again, you won't even see the preloader as the new movie is in your cache.
It will change again soon as I intend to put a Skip button on the preloader. Also note the speed has a lot to do with Rav's server, imo its quite slow, at least for me, compared to my server that is. It will be faster when the KR webserver has it hosted.
Sidepoint, I also did the Enter and Replay buttons and the fade in at the end, so if they don't work or need improvement, w/e, then say so.

woops, edit the the above, Rav increased the quality of the movie I had published and thus its 7.5GB all told - that would account for the extra loading time.
If someone can do a preloader in Flash for a avi (mp4 compression) file instead of us converting the movie to swf, then it would only be 5GB download instead 7.5GB - of course then that same person would also have to be able to do the Enter / Replay at the end as at the moment thats built into the actual movie.

The difference is this time it downloads the whole movie before it plays. I would say previously that it was semi-streaming. Anyone who doesn't have your bandwidth of connection sees the movie lag if the download is slower then the play time.
The obvious solution is to detect the transfer speed and start the movie at a time when the player knows it will all be downloaded by the time the movie has finished. In your case that would be 2 seconds, in my case its 2 minutes.
Unfortunately I don't know Flash well enough to accommodate that, so if anyone has AS that can do this, then let me know please!
