RE: FLASH: Branden Halls Sparks demo...

[Justin Yahnke]

AH HA! Heh, looks like I was looking too hard... or not hard enough (it HAD

been a long day.)  I was wondering what the reason was for having M-spark 

AND M-flyspark - I noticed the white dot in M-flyspark but didn't put it 

together in my head.  Its all so clear now...


Branden, thanks a million and nice work on the sparks demo.  Now that I 

understand it I'm very impressed with the elegance and simplicity.
