Working on big things for the launch of the site, more info coming soon!

I just read the whole flash 8 help file:
I havent written any Actionscript since Flash 5, needless to say many things that took extensive imagination/creativity are built into the structure of the semi-new AS 2.0 architecture. I believe i will be capable of doing things more advanced than i envisioned in even my original planning.
the one thing that i wasn't understanding when i was reading the sample file scripts was the new OO structure but now i get it.

'Create or instantiate an object from the Date class, named myDate:
in this case getmonth() is a method of the date object

var myDate:Date=new Date ();
var currentmonth:Number= myDate.getmonth ();
trace (currentmonth);

'
once i saw that example it all cleared up for me the new syntax and my eyes opened to the new world of OO AS//


i am at work and this is my ctrl-v:
SDW318E THERE ARE 201 JOBS AWAITING EXECUTION. CLASS 3 HAS 173 JOBS.
THRESHOLD IS 85...

BotloveV2 development log 2:
some changes, some steps forward, some steps back...
'alas poor quikbot, i knew him, and he had a big headache today'
well i spent about 6 hours saturday night from 11pm-5am working on teaching myself php and SQL syntax and getting data into flash in a readable format, but alas I failed to get it working. Not only that, but I don't even know where the failure is occuring or why. Frustrated with that I moved on to navigation, which moved along quite a bit more fluidly.
Using Alias Maya 6 3D program I created a sort of roman temple and then exported it with many different variables til i created a reasonably sized file with a style i enjoyed. I made a simple camera object and made a series of 48 frame movies for the navigation and rendered them all as seperate swf files and placed them into my library of my flash file and ran some tests which im pretty happy with. The style is not one I have seen on any other sites for navigation, and I think it will be the 'coup de gras' of my design.
Perhaps, with something creative behind me I can delve back into my php code and see why I am getting the error, but first a 48 hour/4day work week to complete.
