Neither. It's for amusement only, for anyone who wants to take a crack at it. And the "cloak and dagger" response stuff, is, as I explained, so those who would like to take a crack at it can do so without being influenced by others' answers.

Or are you testing responses to a question you want to ask while interviewing?

Please provide an answer without running the code (of course) and, better yet, without consulting any documentation, or any of the other answers that may have been posted already (if you read the list in chronological order.) Pretend it's a job interview question and you have to give it your best shot off the top of your head. And also, if you don't mind, don't top-post your answer, so that if someone does read your answer before the original post, they might get a chance to answer without having seen yours first. -- Jeffry Houser, Technical Entrepreneur Adobe Community Expert: http://tinyurl. com/684b5h http://www.twitter. com/reboog711 | Phone: 203-379-0773 -- Easy to use Interface Components for Flex Developers http://www.flextras .com?c=104 -- http://www.theflexs how.com http://www.jeffryho user.com -- Part of the DotComIt Brain Trust
