Programming giants

Trust adobe to mess and complicate things with Flash. Why....???

For example, the function

------------------------------------------------------------------
getURL("http://www.someaddress.com");
------------------------------------------------------------------
----which you could simply just add to a button

..now being changed to something more complex which you have to the timeline instead:

------------------------------------------------------------------
movieClipName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
function callLink:void {
var url:String = "http://www.someaddress.com";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request, '_self'); }
}
------------------------------------------------------------------
CHUUUUUNK!!!

What a way to throw K.I.S.S out the door.
Everyone probably knows this by now, but I just wanted my own little rant anyway.

Anyhoos, here's little random video. Gives a hilarious insight to what the Autodesk fans out there are saying. Very funny if you understand the contexts.

Funny how you're talking about Flash, then showed that video. Why? Because my workmate showed me that video during work!

Weird :S!!
