Don't worry, I doubt it even fk'ing matters anyway. I can't access a stage
instance on frame 2 or higher without some psychotic hack I've yet to find
on google. How the f*ck did macromedia expect any common flash designers to
keep up? I don't want to write a custom class for each stage instance just
to utilize ADDED_TO_STAGE. What good is that to code on the timeline looking
for that object? I just want to write a basic flash site with dynamic
content and avoid showing two preloaders just to load the home page by
default. Jesus fk'ing christ! Very frustrated atm.
