I sent you a pm about this before I started posting calls earlier this afternoon but maybe you didn't get it - I spent an hour recreating the picard board format (accidentally deleted picard's fla file a couple of months ago...) since I remembered you said you wanted it in that style, but when I finished and was about to start making buttons out of your audio files I noticed they weren't named properly
I prefer them to have each new word capitalized and no spaces - it looks really sloppy having spaces and all lower case - I'm not gonna go through and rename all of them, and I'm sure you don't want to, but you probably should - remember the longer the phrase the more space it takes up - plus it just looks bad
let me know if you're gonna rename them and give me a new zip file or if you just want me to make the buttons out of the mp3s you've got now
one other thing - I noticed you still don't fade your mp3s in at the beginnings and out at the ends - when you don't sometimes there's a loud popping sounds when an mp3 starts or stops in Flash - so even though it's tedious, I fade in/out every single mp3 on every board I make - and it's not the kind of thing I automate either - because each mp3 is unique - and you've got to fade the actual waveform in when the amplitude starts - not just an amount like the first 50 milliseconds or something - you could batch process them to all be faded in at 50ms and out at length-50ms, but on any of them where the waveform doesn't really start until after that, or conversely, if the audio ends abruptly before length-50ms, you'll still get the popping sounds... so it's kind of necessary - that is, unless you don't mind the popping - I'm kind of a perfectionith thh..
EDIT: it just occurred to me that maybe you don't know how it is that I make buttons - I basically just import all of the mp3s into the library of an fla file, then using a macro I copy/paste the title of the mp3 onto the stage and convert the text into a button, then use another macro to apply the actionscript - but the point is, the text of the button comes directly from the name of the mp3 - so if I want the button text to look a certain way, the mp3s have got to be named that way...

Hahaha exactly.
I tried to keep away from the technological psychobabble like the picard board and focused more on investigation questions and business related questions.

very cool - you're not gonna believe this - I was toying with the notion of yellow earlier when I was remaking the picard board - you know - so it wouldn't be exactly like captain stew - plus it stands out better - I like it! I'm gonna go with that

dammit - I thought maybe I sent you a copy of the .fla file I used to make the new picard board - the one with the blue ovals - not the first crappy two-page one
I think I did though - you should check for me - I'd love to have that back if you can find it
I accidentally deleted my copy after my PC shit the bed - the only other place I had it backed up was in a folder called 'STEWART' on the jackulator server - when I made the jon stewart board and went to upload it, without thinking I created a new folder called 'STEWART', and in doing so deleted the contents of the old one....

big sigh... oh well. I guess I'll have to make the damn thing over again - I tried decompiling it with sothink, but when I opened the fla all I got for the buttons was strange characters and jibberish - I don't know if that has to do with having published the swf file encrypted or protected, or if my version of sothink sucks I tried out a different program earlier, but it couldn't extract the fla properly either
