This is a great comparison table for lightboxs that get you just what you need. Personally, I’m currently a prototype guy and go with lightbox++ 90% of the time. Next site I do I’m forcing myself to use some jquery to get more of a taste.

For some reason I had a really tough time finding a quick and easy tutorial on how to add a .mp3 to to an AS3 project and lower the volume.
First, import your .mp3 to the library and set a linkage classname.

Right click on the .mp3 you have imported to your library and select 'Linkage'. Essentially, this allows you to address the .mp3 as a class.
You can then address it with the following code:
var snd:neonstart4 = new neonstart4();
var sc:SoundChannel = snd.play();
var st:SoundTransform = sc.soundTransform;
st.volume = .2; // set to 20% volume
sc.soundTransform = st;
If you ever need to use curly braces in a Smarty template use the following code:
{literal}
<script>// <![CDATA[
<!--
function getPrompt() {
// js function here
}
//-->
</script>
{/literal}
… or …
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function getPrompt() {ldelim}
// js function here
{rdelim}
//-->
</script>

Found this uber-useful table for CSS -> Javascript conversions over at hardwar.org. I copied it here because it was kinda buried and just in case it disappears.
