i can't get the walmart page to load right. it tells me to have the latest flash and java enabled, which i do.
is what's on the walmart page different from the pics on the other ilnk? and is there a good clean copy of the logo somewhere? or do we have to use the one that's posted to the LJ album?
Not sure why it's not loading for you; we're seeing it load fine on several versions. What browser and flash version are you using?
We are only able to post web resolution images for this contest, so that's why we're providing a few of the Orbit design samples (png files) along with their landing page, which shows the full range of the designs for more inspiration. Because virtual gifts are smaller sizes we think that everyone will most likely be ok with these web images plus a little creativity.
Hope this info helps. We'll find out what else we can on the landing page . . .
Here's the official specs on the landing page- it's a fairly high version of Flash:
PC Windows 2000, XP Home or Professional, Vista or Windows 7 in 32bit and 64bit Intel Pentium 4 2.33GHz, AMD Athlon™ 64 2800+ processor (or equivalent) At least 256 MB RAM 64MB of VRAM (video card memory) Internet Explorer 6.0 to 8.0 (IE 8.0 recommended) Mozilla Firefox 2.0 to 3.5 Flash Version 9.0.115 and up.
MAC Mac OS X v10.4 or later PowerPC G5 1.8GHz, Intel Core Duo 1.33GHz or faster processor At least 256 MB RAM 64MB of VRAM (video card memory) Mozilla Firefox 2.0 to 3.5 Safari 3.0
which kinda explains why it wouldn't open on my netbook, although my specs are pretty good. I found another computer to look at it on. Seems kinda silly though to require a high version of flash to make a still graphic.
and, it just seems to lead to wallpaper exe files...and given walmart's propensity for gathering ad info, etc, there's no way to get the elements on their site without installing a wallpaper i don't want, and potentially opening myself up to any spyware or adware they have built into it.
Why can't the elements be like what's in the gallery? simply jpg, png or such files? I don't care to install something on a computer simply to participate in a contest, especially when there's no clear explanation of just what that .exe is and all it contains.
