Seriously, if you are writing code, do yourself and anyone else who may need to look at your code in the future a favor and comment it out. In the past two weeks I have worked on four different flash sites that were already completed and I had to go in and make updates to. Every single one, the code was scattered across the entire fla, and completely uncommented. It took me hours just figure out the logic flow for something that should have been really simple. Leaving notes for yourslef or someone else who has to deal with the code just makes life that much easier.

(And stop parsing loaded xml into arrays. learn how to use xml…its really easy.)
