 		[PUZZLE] newsite.swf/htm {SD 1/business/newsite.htm}
I've been looking into the newsite files

I would recommend looking at the swf by itself for a larger size.

So far, from what I've found:
If you click on the people standing in the street, the flash image becomes a (nearly) 360 degree panorama, that you can turn through using the mouse to control acceleration (click the people and move the mouse side-to-side, you'll see)

Also, from decompiling the flash code, I found some normal variables names and one odd one:

'xposition', 'strip1', 'drag', 'speed', 'strip2', 'slut', 'strip3'

From what I can tell:
xposition is where you are in turning,
strip1, 2, and 3 are the images that create the 360
drag is whether you are moving around or not
speed is how fast you turn
slut refers to the width of the strip images (from the code: "slut = (eval(strip))._width")

Slut seems like a really odd name for a variable. Perhaps we're not suppose to look beyond the images in the SWF, and the puzzle is finding the "button" hidden on the people to turn around and see the rest of the image, but it's worth noting. Hope this helps!

P.S. From the code, it appears there aren't any other buttons in the flash file. I tried a quick pan around, while sweeping the mouse up and down for clickable buttons, looking for the cursor to change to a hand logo (which it should over a button), and found nothing.

Edit: Added the decompiled source code if anyone's interested, might not be very useful if you're not into programming

 		What I'm not sure of is the part of the 360 image that's blanked out.
When you click the hotspot to turn on panorama, it hops just to the right. It feels like 180 degress behind you is the blanked out area.
What are they hiding? Is that even the point of interest?
