Flash Tag Cloud

As some of you may know I'm working on creating my blog in Flash.
In my spare time (

) I'm slowly putting together certain parts and applications for it (All of which will be available for free when completed

).

I'm working on my tag cloud and want to know what everyone thinks about it. The links for each word will take you to that particular section of my site or the respective url when double-clicked (not yet active) and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

This is really cool DotComBot. Can't wait to see the finished product. Just a question, though. When you click on the tags, hopefully the pages will open up a lot faster and the visitor won't have to wait for the text to zoom all the way in. I think people may get impatient. I wasn't sure if that's how the finished site would work or if you just did that since you have no links yet.

I swear, I clicked "dreamweaver" and as it slowly zoomed into my screen, getting larger and larger... I thought I was under attack. LOL No, but seriously, I like the concept.

No attack - I haven't added the photon torpedoes yet.

When you single-click on the word (as it currently is) it is simply to navigate through the field. To activate the link (navigate to the page or url) you would double-click on the word. It can be very faint in the background or up in your face, it doesn't matter where it is, if you double-click on it it will immediately open the link.
Glad you like it!
