<!–
if ((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i))) {
location.replace(“http://www.yourdomain.com/iphone.html”);
}

Download and open the portfolio.fla file.
Make it yours, or cut and paste code into your own fla file.
Either name your fla file “portfolio_fullscreen” or you have to make changes in “index.html”
When you are happy with your flash portfolio, publish it. Now upload “portfolio_fullscreen.swf, index.html, mailer.php.”
