    Advice on Flash technique

    Don't use Flash for that sort of thing. If you Google JQuery accordion there will be quite a few tutorials or files to show you what to do. Using HTML, CSS and JQuery will mean that search engines will be able to pick up the text/keywords.

    Color Scheme

    I love Kuler. It takes some of the creativity out of choosing colours but if you are in a rush it is great. It ships within the Adobe suite as well as being available online.

    Photoshop to Flash

    If you have the latest version of flash you can open up the psd in flash itself. It will open import all the layers. I think that is the case, I know you can do it with Illustrator. I would advise you go down the HTML/CSS route. Easier on resources and search engines prefer it.

    Best program for logo design?

    Illustrator is the industry standard. If you want to get a job in the future I would look at that. If it is just a one off logo I would suggest something like http://inkscape.org/.

    Firefox stopped a pop up. I am not sure if it is your site or the hosting company but that would piss me off as a visitor.

    Need some help with Flash CS5

    DHDdirect is right. The problem is to do with the margin/padding applied to the flash object. Look into using swf object 2 for placing you flash files within a html document, it is more reliable.

    Very noobish text question

    guy, plz suggest what you dont like about my site?

    It does look like the site was set up purely so you could make money from advertising. You are better producing quality content and building up a community of people. Only when you are getting lots of traffic should you think about making money from it.

    My printed portfolio: include project description?

    Make sure that the folder/book you put the work in is as high quality as your work. It will make a massive difference. I don't think you should have descriptions because you can just answer any questions the interviewer asks about your work. You may want to have additional prints of your work to...
