Heh, but if you're REALLY going for unreadable lines of code, you might as
well go all the way:
function repeat(n:Number, f:Function) : Array {
return n > 1 ? repeat(n-1, f).concat(f()) : [f()];
}
function createUID():String {
return repeat(4, function(){ return repeat(3, function(){ return
String("BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ").substr(int(Math.random()*19), 1) }).join("")
}).join("-");
}
