I have a MovieClip, which I have rotated. I then run:
thebox._width = 100;
thebox._height = 100;
trace(thebox._width+", "+thebox._height);
It returns... 93.5, 96.25........ why doesn't it return 100, 100?
Then... I run the script again
It returns... 99.1, 99.45
It keeps going up in increments, but never actually hits 100, 100.
I'm using Flash CS5. What is going on?
Frankly, you should make a giant bouncy castle.
If you have a small business, you now have to pay $750 a year for healthcare.
"Free" healthcare comes at a cost. Step by step, the US is being chipped at, by its own government. First it was NAFTA, then the illegals came rolling in, then the deficit from fighting Middle Eastern cavemen, then the healthcare overhaul, and soon to be carbon taxes to fight "global warming".
Then again, I see most of this as inevitable. The population has grown a lot and there has to be a massive overhaul of everything. It basically is communism, but it's not hardcore, Stalinist communism. It's more like, work for the government, collect welfare, live in a smaller house, tolerate people from other cultures.
You might want to check out KRS-One, Immortal Tech, Presto, Canibus, Bizarre (lol), Tech N9ne, Mos Def, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Eminem, Outkast, Notorious BIG... that's all I have off the dome. They'll keep you busy for a while.

Evan's Octopus (aka evan210) has PMd me his acceptance speech (since he is banned. How's that for irony?)
First of all, I would like to thank all of my supporters for following me. I am honored to be the president of Newgrounds, and none of this would have happened without you guys. Now that I have that out of the way... I would like to make STEM vice president, 36Holla secretary of defence, and Rig, Rucklo, and Malachy the Secret Service. Also, we must rebel against EyeLovePoozy to free my owner, evan210. He was permanently banned, and almost all contact with him has been lost. There will be protests, riots, anything we need to do. We will lose many soldiers, but when our mission is accomplished, we will be preventing the loss of even more. There is a $1,000,000 reward on EyeLovePoozy. As president, I will do my best to make Newgrounds a better place. Once again, thank you.
-Tibbles, President of Newgrounds.
Tibbles is the name of my Octopus, in case you haven't heard.

I am pleased to announce that Evan's Octopus, the Conservative, has won the final election in a landslide. Octopus gained 53.19%. Octopus's primary victory was believed to have been aided by proxy servers. However, with all proxies discounted this time, Octopus still came out on top. Voters were impressed with Evan's no-nonsense campaign rhetoric of, "OCTOPUS FOR MOD. OCTOPUS FOR ADMIN. OCTOPUS FOR AWESOME. OCTOPUS FOR PRESIDENT.";
Octopus will be expected to make an acceptance speech. The runner ups are encouraged to congratulate him on his stunning victory.
Meanwhile, Shabbo, the Liberal, took second place, with 24.47% of the vote. It was perhaps Shabbo's Nazi sympathy that cost him first place. "Elect me Fuhrer or Newgrounds will be dealt with" was seen as a threat, rather than of aide. It is still impressive that the Nazi regime holds such political clout decades after its fall.
Ubercream, the Independent, rounded off the finale, with 22.34% of the vote. His ambigious promise of "all will be revealed" was perhaps too vague for voters to be persuaded by.
20 mins of voting left. This is the last plug. Winner will be announced in a new thread, and will be expected to make an acceptance speech at some point.
3 hours of voting remain. The President will be announced shortly after 12 PM GMT.
Voting ends tomorrow
I forgot to plug it for the last few days
My latest rap.
Click to listen.
5 days til the end of main voting.
And a reminder: proxies won't be counted this time. You can still vote using a proxy, but when I count the final tally, I will ignore all proxies.
I really should have done that to begin with. Oh well.
6 days til the final winner is announced.

I let people use as many proxy servers as they wanted. In hindsight, I realise that was a very, very bad idea.
So, for the finals, I am now going to discount every single proxy vote.
Only real votes count. May the best candidate win.
Primary results have been announced and posted in a new thread

Main voting has now begun, and will end next Friday, February 26, 2010.
The primaries are over and the winners have been announced from each party.
You can now vote for the main President until next Friday, February 26, 2010. This is where you vote: http://election2010.freehostia.com/index .php
Now, here are the primary results:
The Conservative winner was Evan's Octopus, with 20.9% of the vote.
The Independent winner was All-American-Badass, with 8.8% of the vote.
The Liberal winner was Shabbo, with 2.9% of the vote.
The others scored a combined vote of 67.4%.
Full results, with every candidate's total votes, can be seen here
25 minutes until the primaries are over. I will close the polls, count the votes, and announce the winners in a new thread I will post on Newgrounds.
3 winners will be announced, one from each party.
You will then be able to vote for the main President. From tonight until next Friday, January 26, 2010.
The winner will be named President. I will be asking the 3 winners to PM me a more detailed list of policies, because I think people need more meat for the main election.

I would suggest (if possible) putting on each candidate's page how many people currently have their votes to that candidate, just to let us know who's in the lead. Unless, of course, you think that would cause people hunting down people with the highest numbers and voting for only one of them.
LOL WHAT? You never announce who's winning in advance.
4 days to go, BTW. Get voting, people.

Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995
By Jonathan Petre
Last updated at 11:02 AM on 14th February 2010
* Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing
* There has been no global warming since 1995
* Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes
The academic at the centre of the 'Climategate' affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble 'keeping track' of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.
Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is 'not as good as it should be'.
The data is crucial to the famous 'hockey stick graph' used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now - suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no 'statistically significant' warming.
The admissions will be seized on by sceptics as fresh evidence that there are serious flaws at the heart of the science of climate change and the orthodoxy that recent rises in temperature are largely man-made.
Professor Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit after the leaking of emails that sceptics claim show scientists were manipulating data.
The raw data, collected from hundreds of weather stations around the world and analysed by his unit, has been used for years to bolster efforts by the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to press governments to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
Following the leak of the emails, Professor Jones has been accused of 'scientific fraud' for allegedly deliberately suppressing information and refusing to share vital data with critics.
Discussing the interview, the BBC's environmental analyst Roger Harrabin said he had spoken to colleagues of Professor Jones who had told him that his strengths included integrity and doggedness but not record-keeping and office tidying.
Mr Harrabin, who conducted the interview for the BBC's website, said the professor had been collating tens of thousands of pieces of data from around the world to produce a coherent record of temperature change.
That material has been used to produce the 'hockey stick graph' which is relatively flat for centuries before rising steeply in recent decades.
According to Mr Harrabin, colleagues of Professor Jones said 'his office is piled high with paper, fragments from over the years, tens of thousands of pieces of paper, and they suspect what happened was he took in the raw data to a central database and then let the pieces of paper go because he never realised that 20 years later he would be held to account over them'.
Asked by Mr Harrabin about these issues, Professor Jones admitted the lack of organisation in the system had contributed to his reluctance to share data with critics, which he regretted.
But he denied he had cheated over the data or unfairly influenced the scientific process, and said he still believed recent temperature rises were predominantly man-made.
Asked about whether he lost track of data, Professor Jones said: 'There is some truth in that. We do have a trail of where the weather stations have come from but it's probably not as good as it should be.
'There's a continual updating of the dataset. Keeping track of everything is difficult. Some countries will do lots of checking on their data then issue improved data, so it can be very difficult. We have improved but we have to improve more.'
He also agreed that there had been two periods which experienced similar warming, from 1910 to 1940 and from 1975 to 1998, but said these could be explained by natural phenomena whereas more recent warming could not.
He further admitted that in the last 15 years there had been no 'statistically significant' warming, although he argued this was a blip rather than the long-term trend.
And he said that the debate over whether the world could have been even warmer than now during the medieval period, when there is evidence of high temperatures in northern countries, was far from settled.
Sceptics believe there is strong evidence that the world was warmer between about 800 and 1300 AD than now because of evidence of high temperatures in northern countries.
But climate change advocates have dismissed this as false or only applying to the northern part of the world.
Professor Jones departed from this consensus when he said: 'There is much debate over whether the Medieval Warm Period was global in extent or not. The MWP is most clearly expressed in parts of North America, the North Atlantic and Europe and parts of Asia.
'For it to be global in extent, the MWP would need to be seen clearly in more records from the tropical regions and the Southern hemisphere. There are very few palaeoclimatic records for these latter two regions.
'Of course, if the MWP was shown to be global in extent and as warm or warmer than today, then obviously the late 20th Century warmth would not be unprecedented. On the other hand, if the MWP was global, but was less warm than today, then the current warmth would be unprecedented.'
Sceptics said this was the first time a senior scientist working with the IPCC had admitted to the possibility that the Medieval Warming Period could have been global, and therefore the world could have been hotter then than now.
Professor Jones criticised those who complained he had not shared his data with them, saying they could always collate their own from publicly available material in the US. And he said the climate had not cooled 'until recently - and then barely at all. The trend is a warming trend'.
Mr Harrabin told Radio 4's Today programme that, despite the controversies, there still appeared to be no fundamental flaws in the majority scientific view that climate change was largely man-made.
But Dr Benny Pieser, director of the sceptical Global Warming Policy Foundation, said Professor Jones's 'excuses' for his failure to share data were hollow as he had shared it with colleagues and 'mates'.
He said that until all the data was released, sceptics could not test it to see if it supported the conclusions claimed by climate change advocates.
He added that the professor's concessions over medieval warming were 'significant' because they were his first public admission that the science was not settled.

http://election2010.freehostia.com/
2 hours remain. This is the last bump.
Time is ticking to sign up.
The official clock I am giving for this is UK GMT time. It is currently 6:05PM in the UK.
At 12PM, no more sign ups are allowed. I will proceed to post a new topic for the primaries, outlining the rules and timelines.
We are just 2 weeks away from crowning Newgrounds' 2010 President.
This is a genuine conspiracy. They try to tell you you're depressed and give you prozac, which is known to make people commit suicide.
Best advice I can give is not to take any drugs.
NONE.
Except weed, and melatonin. In 0.3 MG doses. Not 3MG. 0.3.
