It did a little time for the images to load (10 seconds). I have DSL as well
I think there is a way to put all of your images in one file so they load quicker. I have limited web knowledge but IIRC I read about that before. Maybe someone else has heard about it or knows more.
Looks OK other than the large number of files which are downloaded. Drawing1.jpg through Drawing34.jpg totaled 7.24 megabytes!
An animated GIF is actually several images stored in one GIF file. FWIW, what you are using is not an animated GIF but rather a Javascript routine which scrolls through cached JPG images. (Your mouse movements scroll through caches images via Javascript.)
Try this: (Only 375k bytes - vector info stored as XML in HTML page) (Requires an eDrawings plug-in download - automatic on IE.)

is similar format should you desire this kind of 3D functionality with low download overheads.

DSL here, reasonably slow. That's an interesting angle you used, too. I want to reach out and catch it from falling as I rotate it to the side view. Har! So, did SketchUp output that anim for you? Cool. I really must start using it.
Dat's some oogly maple, Brian. ;)
Oh, one last thing. I didn't hear any flutes.
P.S: The reason it works better in MS Internet Exploder is because you designed it in MS Page Affront. Simple!

Yeah. I goofed with the post. I actually have an animated gif also that is 200kb. I like the user interactivity of the JavaScript.
I looked into that. I would prefer something that didn't require visitors to download a plugin. Most people are sketchy about doing that sort of thing and will just leave.
I used Sketchup to generate the code then I substitued the Sketchup files with TurboCad JPG's. I havent learned how to use Sketchup yet and feel more comfortable with TCAD.
I've been using TurboCAD for about 10 years and it's almost second nature to me now. I've tried to use Sketchup at least a dozen times over the past year or so, but I always hit something that irks me to no end and I keep going back to TurboCAD.
Worked fine in IE 8, Safari 4, Google Chrome 3.0, and Firefox 3.5. Worked in Opera 10 but the image noticeably flickered with a different background showing with each image update. I am running WinXP.
Looks much smoother in all the browsers. My version of Opera just autoupdated to 10.10 and while it still has an annoying flicker when the image updates, it happens infrequently. It was strange, first I saw it with each update, but after a screen refresh I don't see it much, if at all.
