Via a co-worker.
A scientist from Texas A&M University has invented an improved bra that keeps women’s breasts from jiggling and prevents the nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in.
At a news conference announcing the invention, the scientist was taken outside by a large group of very angry men, who promptly kicked the shit out of him.
Two people in the past two days have had questions on the Flashnewbie list about how to do Object.prototype (MovieClip.prototype the most popular) equivalents in AS2. There are many people capable of finding this out on the list, but so far, we didn’t have an answer.
Tried myself a few times, and failed pretty hard; it’s easy to do that in programming. Waded through the ASCII jungle that is Flashcoders currently, and found Tatsuo equisitely explaining how to do it amongst a bunch of non-AS1 programmers who didn’t belong in the thread. Yeah, their coding styles are correct, but AS1 people have no idea why your explaining to do it that way as and AS2 people have no idea why Object.prototype was so widly used; only comes from experience, so the disconnect just added confusion to my research. Confirmed by working through it with my co-worker two seperate times, and finally feel I’ve got a feel on how to explain it clearly.
How you did it in AS1
Am I the only one that feels… “compelled” to use the start page? Both in Flash and Dreamweaver, I’ll like hover for a few seconds while I decide which button to press on the Start Page… and then I realize I can just CTRL + O. This is like the 2nd time, the 4th time in 2 days that I’ve just sat there for about 3 seconds. I don’t have to use it, but I feel like I should!
GF got the same email this morning. Anybody download the FLA’s and SWF’s yet?

Jess,
I hate to bother you but I was wondering if you could just help me with a simple
dimple little FCMX script.
All I am trying to do is have a button in one movie execute a sound in another movie.
I don’t want to fill up this email with my code but if you get the chance (and find
it in your heart :) my files are located here:
