Hmmm, when I tested I ripped out the flash layer and it worked. I presume
that one can't click on a link because the layer above is blank? Fiddle
sticks... Any other ideas someone? I guess I could do an onload

I (mostly) agree. I'm using Flash because client insisted, originally site
was all like http://www.fairwayfunds.com/stafford/ but they wanted something
a little more designed for the presentation, and wanted to control some
visual aspects.

The initial animation is really just to introduce their clients to the new
logos. They didn't want the movie going into the intro. Honest.

I thought I had been consistent! I'd appreciate some further analysis if you
have time.

Yep, I know it's centred on a Mac! Seriously, I always appreciate any
feedback.
