It's not that difficult to show a police-report from the burglary of yer house (with among other things a list of items that were stolen, including the car-key) to yer car's insurance-company. Whether they buy it or not is something else, but not exactly impossible.
From the linked BBC article: Mercury Messenger carries seven scientific instruments to characterise the properties of its target planet. Not sure what OS the software is running on, but it's not Quantian.
Read paragraph 2 of yer linked article: In a move that emphasizes the growing global ambitions of South Korean technology companies, Daum said on Monday it will pay 111.2 billion won for 100 percent of Lycos, which Terra bought in an all-stock deal in May 2000. (Wired News is owned by Lycos.)
Becuz it made sense (to Terra). Terra wanted to fight its way into the English-speaking web portal market (being already one of the top players in the Spanish-speaking one) and Lycos was one of the decently big enough players that was also willing to be bought up.
Instead of having to patch all their security holes themselves, they can now blame everybody else for not having written a 'white worm' yet for every worm/trojan horse/etc out there that exploits their security holes. Clever.
Yer right, AS isn't Flash, neither are vector graphics, XML, the Internet, George W or ignorance... What's yer point? AS is a part of Flash just like vector graphics (and other stuff), and has been for quite a few versions.
I was merely responding to the person implying it cannot be done which is wrong. But I don't know why it isn't in there by default and yes, I agree it should be a default functionality.
My point is that, as in the case of Ray-Ban's site, it gets in the freaking way. You could have had a site that looked almost identical, and I could have navigated it easier and faster if it had just been HTML.
So why is that Flash's fault? The people creating the site and RayBan decided they were gonna use Flash, why not blame them?
If someone created a horrendous site made in SVG, would you blame it on SVG?!

They're driving around on any old road yeah and they still suck at driving. Every time I drive around there are dozens of 'em in front of me.

AFAIK Australia isn't a US State.
No such thing as a clever first post when trying to to do for the sake of it.

Meant to say:
Yup, by 2 years.
Yup, by .

Funnily enough hotbot gives the option to search using the HotBot, Google and Ask Jeeves search engines.
No, not like Google, Google has the Google toolbar.

Merde!

Did you even attempt to click the underlined word 'sloccount'? If not, do it now and read the first line of the first paragraph.

Actually, isn't ActionScript an ECMAScript, just like JavaScript?
AS, and JS and some other scripting languages are based on ECMAScript, doesn't mean that they're all the same tho.
Noone's denying AS isn't Flash, but AS *is* exclusive to Flash tho, while you are implying it's not.
If you want you can email me and I'll sort it out for you :)

So even simple 'goto' statements didn't work like they were supposed to.
They do if you use them properly (they're called gotoAndPlay and gotoAndStop). *Any* language/tool is assinine if you don't know how to use it.
ActionScript != JavaScript. They are both based on ECMAscript, that's all.

Have you taken a look at Kinetic Fusion yet? Can convert RVML (an XML flavor) to SWF and back.
Why is ActionScript not a part of Flash? Have you even *looked* at the SWF-specifications?
Flash *used to be* vector-animation only without scripting. Doesn't mean it still is, nor does it mean any addition to Flash isn't 'part of' Flash.
