Political correctness gone too far?

Geek speek not PC, or so the court finds.

'Master' and 'slave' computer labels unacceptable, officials say.

Yeesh. I think there are a lot more serious problems out there in web-land. I've had my fair share of being treated like a token chick, and looked down upon as such, so focusing on and taking stock simple words and terminology seems silly to me in comparison. Oh well, let them have their "affirmative action," indeed.

... to the Flash Reference on ActionScript.com. Go and view them here:

Movie Clip control -- check out the 6 entries for MovieClipLoader class. There are some "issues" with the Flash Help system where the code doesn't work, so if you have been having some problems I hope this helps you out a little bit.
