Hiya David.

Thanks for the feedback all is appreciated.
Can you take a gander at these then?
http://cangil.netfirms.com/Casino%20Designs.htm
these were game designs i did for practice, the Thai ones actually went into
a casino for my last company that specialised in internet casinos.
They do not have any functionality at present, but I can import into Flash
and have a twiddle.


Shaf.
