Does not work in flash5. Which is what I use.
The speed variable can be changed to whatever you want. So can the keys.

I know. I know. I learned that beforehand.
Also, what is this shapeflag thing? I've never heard of it before. Does it exist in flash5?
And one of those islands *is* named Rhode Island (a settlement on which
is what the state's official name refers to, as dr topper states.)
This island, called Aquidneck by its Indian inhabitants, was purchased
from them by a group from Boston fleeing religious persecution. According
to the Encyclopedia Britannica, these settlers chose that name because
they mistakenly believed that this was the name used by the 16th century
Italian explorer Giovanni da Varrazzano. In fact, Varrazzano was referring
to the island now called Block Island, and the basis for this was that
he found this island to be comparable in size to the Mediterranean island
of Rhodes. Quite a convoluted tale!
I did not know that. Hooray for learning!
