_lmao_… I was actually being a smart \*\*\* man… But only to show you a valuabl;e lesson…
Always display as much information as possible… Or else people like me… Will burn you… 😃
I’ll post it up tomorrow if noone takes ahold of this… I just closed my Flash MX screen… And I forgot the one line form my head… Sorry 🙂
