	Fixed some bugs caused by flash. Yeah, I swear, not my fault! Turns out that running perfectly good ActionScript 2 code form within ActionScript 3 causes all kind of strange incompatibilities. I had to update all the code to ActionScript 3, which took forever, but I'm happy it's done.

			Definitely not worth writing 20 new classes for but it was quite fun. Site now requires Flash 8.0 (ok for 98.5% of you, according to

		Major changes to the site...
		<ul>
			<li>Version 2 enables navigation with the back (and forward) buttons. This is why I now require at least Flash 8.</li>
			<li>The whole hierarchy has changed with two new sections: 'Art' and 'Development'. Most galleries that used to be on the main level are now in 'Photo'.</li>
			<li>Because of a oversight in my code, previously visited galleries will show as 'new'. I won't do it again, I promise!</li>
			<li>RSS (Atom) syndication now provides an easy way to know when changes are made. Sorry, Atom doesn't support multi-lingual entries...</li>
