Tips, tricks and additional source codes.

Here is a basic description on adding a favicon.
Favicon is short for favourite icon, they are the little picture or design next to the address in the address bar. They are also stored in your favourites list next to the name of the site so finding sites is easier.
Create or copy your image and reduce the size to 16x16
Save as favicon.ico Some programs do not recognise this file format so save as png and convert your file to ico by visiting sites like this
http://www.convertico.com
Upload the generated file ("favicon.ico") to your site. It must be stored in the same directory as the web page it is associated with. Verify it's there by typing http://???.com/favicon.ico in the browser's location, where "???.com" is your site's address.
Paste this code into the head tag of your web pages
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

Here are the steps to follow to the letter to add a new flash portfolio page :

- Replace function myFlashGallery in file js/main.js : lines 61 to 68 by these ones:

PHP Code:

function myFlashGallery (_src,_width,_height,_bgcolor,_divID,gallery) { 
if (window.document.getElementById(_divID)) {
if (gallery == null){
gallery = 'gallery.xml';
}
window.document.getElementById(_divID).innerHTML=AC_FL_RunContentDiv( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0','width',_width,'height',_height,'src',_src,'quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie',_src,'bgcolor',_bgcolor,'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain','allowFullScreen','true','FlashVars','xmlFile='+gallery); //end AC code 
AC_FL_RunContentDiv( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0','width','540','height','418','src','flash/gallery/gallery','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','flash/gallery/gallery','bgcolor','#FFFFFF','allowFullScreen','true'); //end AC code 
} else {
alert("Div '"+_divID+"' not found ");
}
} 


- After, duplicate the _portfolio page where the second gallery will be added, for exemple call it _portfolio2.htm.

- In this new page _portfolio2.htm edit the content like this :
myFlashGallery('flash/gallery',540,418,'#000000','flash_id','gallery2.xml');

- Duplicate gallery.xml file in 'gallery2.xml' and edit this file for the new gallery.

Here is the hack to allow absolute URL in flash buttons and open them in a new window.
If you want the link top open in the same window replace _blank by _self.

Open the file js/main.js and replace at the end of the file function :

function showPage(pageURL,button_id) {
    hideContent(pageURL);
    if (selected_button!="" && button_id!=selected_button) {
            sendToASUnselectButton('anim_'+selected_button);        
    }
    selected_button = button_id;
}

by

function showPage(pageURL,button_id) {
    if (pageURL.substring(0,4).toLowerCase()=='http') {
        window.open(pageURL, '_blank');
        return;
    };
    hideContent(pageURL);
    if (selected_button!="" && button_id!=selected_button) {
            sendToASUnselectButton('anim_'+selected_button);        
    }
    selected_button = button_id;
}

You can add a link in the same page (like a button does) this way:
<a href="javascript:showPage('_mypage.htm');">mylink</a>
