:thumbsup: Hey everyone. I started using a site called MyToons.com (http://www.mytoons.com/) for my embedded video a couple months back. (it's like YouTube but solely for animation) And it turns out that they are running a contest for the next couple of months. And one of the judges is Andrew Gordon from Pixar!! I couldn't find anywhere that said the winner gets hired at Pixar or not:) (its fun to dream) - but it's a great oppurtunity for whoever wins to get their name in the mind of a legend at Pixar, and win some prizes. Well here is a link to information on the contest. Goodluck :-) http://www.mytoons.com/iWin

Right on for the heads up on this site Vexona,

The fact that mytoons.com recognizes .swf as a valid file extension format is a big FAT plus.

I see it's in beta stage... I've got a few thought about the code, if anyone from mytoons reads this.

You might start getting some unorthadox resolution dimensions uploaded to your site since .swf is so res indi. Perhaps writing the code so that the animation centers itself within the column might be better suited. Seems like it's justifying itself top left in an SD 720 column.

My 1280 animated loop shows up like THIS. (http://www.mytoons.com/animation/play/5695)

The blue color on each side of the main column might be too much as well, competing with the animations a little. I think a nice subtle more neutral gray would work well.

A nice job overall though. Kudos for the .swf format. Later!

OOOPs... EDIT... Looks like one can customize the page. Nice.
