 		flash into on metacortechs website
I'm new here and don't know if this has been discussed, but in one frame of the flash intro on the metacortechs site the following line appears below one of the pictures:

function b_showIt(){this.cxl.visibility="community"}


It appears under the third picture shown. Does this mean anything to anyone?

 		That has been mentioned before here.

Has anyone ever mentioned the fact that the weird codes in the flash intro are also present in the HTML source of the page containing the flash? It contains the following HTML comments:

Code:
<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
 <!-- text used in the movie-->
<!--MetaCortex wired reality<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">this.x=(bw.ns4 || bw.undefined)? this.css.left:this.world.in.pain;</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">this.y=(bw.ns4 || bw.dreamlinestate)? this.css.top:this.css.pixelTop;</FONT></P><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">function b_showIt(){this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#333333">{this.cxl.visibility=&quot;community&quot;}</FONT></P>-->

 		My guess is that the code bits are in the HTML in addition to the Flash in case there's someone without Flash installed (GOD FORBID!)

But if that's the case, then that would mean that reading this mock-javascript code is very important...

 		Decompiling flash is usualy out of bounds in an ARG.

 		Has anyone noticed the intro is gone?
I don't know if anyone has already noticed...the intro to the metacortechs site doesn't play anymore. Not that I mind, that music was annoying. But I thought it was a little odd that they pulled it. Maybe there are other changes.

 		Wink I found that it didn't work on my first time last week. I had to refresh the page a couple of times before it appeared.

I'm refreshing the page as I type this, and I can deff see it. Promise.

 		There you go! It's sometimes fickle, but I find that happens with flash a lot.

 		That's good to know.
That's good to know, thanks. I just tried it from work, and I see it now. Although, I still say they should dump the music. Wink

A little like this Wordsworth poem?

"IF THIS GREAT WORLD OF JOY AND PAIN"
IF this great world of joy and pain
Revolve in one sure track;
If freedom, set, will rise again,
And virtue, flown, come back;
Woe to the purblind crew who fill
The heart with each day's care;
Nor gain, from past or future, skill
To bear, and to forbear!
