Flash/Lingo


###snip###

Why develop a new

language for Flash instead of using Lingo, and established and

well-documented

language for the same type of use? Come on!

Probably because it would make the plug-in/player that much bigger to handle

all the functionality.

FF2K response


I certainly thought parts were rough. However, coming in as an intermediate

user there was no session from which I did not walk away in some form

enlightened. This includes the ill-fated sound session. The people that were

there were generous and excited. Some of the presenters were great (Hillman,

Josh, the three artists/three visions, the final animation section), some

could have used some significant polishing (sound, the advanced

actionscripting). But overall, I found it worth my while (of course, I have

the equivalent of my registration in software to auction at EBay). I will

certainly attend next year. When is Europe? I'd love to expense that one.



============

Fakemail


Fakemail requires no true programming knowledge. Just an understanding that

email goes in to port 25 on a computer, a thorough knowledge of headers (so

you can spoof them all in the data part). It's a snap really. The first of

the many babysteps any hacker must take. Our Dowden spoofer, however, wasn't

clever enough to forward his mail about or better yet to crack up mm. Just a

Brit having a lark in the middle of the night.


Besides, improving porn animation is mostly a matter of cpu speed (to up the

frame rate) which is outside of MMs control. Maybe if they made the trace

bitmap feature better? Oh well. John, I didn't think that was you anyway and

I'm sure most other people on the list didn't think so either.


Well that's all for now...
