I respect your policy on voting 0's for resubmits, and I appreciate your criticism's as they are entirely constructive. Thanks for that.
Here's a little background on why I resubmitted the flash: First let me say that this was back in the days of newgrounds when (at least as I was aware) you couldn't "edit" your submissions or upload a new version of the swf. What you had first put up was there until the end of time unless you talked to Wade or someone else from the NG crew.
That said: The original swf had been made and submitted using, I think, flash 4. On top of that, it was my first EVER attempt at real flash work. So there were some major issues in the animation and sound sync of the original. At that time I hadn't discovered the Audio Stream property and was using everything as an Event. Then Flash 5 came out just a few months later and the improved processing of the new engine really accentuated the little flubs in the work.
All this added up to the original submission only playing correctly on 'average' computer systems. If your system was just one or two hundred megahertz slower or faster than mine, then a lot of things came out of sync from how I had intended them.
So I re-encoded and touched up the things that really bothered me about the film and re-posted it. (The Audio is still all Events because even then I hadn't found the glory of the Stream.) Later, I contacted Wade and asked him to replace the original 'Your Insanity' swf with the updated one - but leaving both entry submissions up for continuity sake.
So, that's how I ended up with two Your Insanity submissions. Of coarse, now I've got so much viewer feedback and so many reviews on each of the submits that I wouldn't want to dump either one unless it could all be consolidated. And with a PHP system as hefty and cross-referenced as Newgrounds, I doubt any of the crew would be up for volunteering the time to make it happen.
Anyway, that's the story. Thanks for asking! ;)
