bq. The only way i could see it really working was if the experienced programmer would provide intentionally broken code (that does simple things), and the noob would have to fix it by themselves, learning how things work in the process. Some intentionally broken code: (and a little bit harder than rarapompoms' code) <pre>var myShape:Shape = new Shape(); with(myShape.graphics) { beginFill(0xff, 1.0); drawCircle(50,50,50); endFill(); } myShape.x = 100; myShape.y = 100; addChild(myShape); function removeShape(event:MouseEvent):void { removeChild(myShape); } myShape.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeShape);</pre> This should (but doesn't) create a blue circle that disappears when you click on it. There is one line that's wrong. If you're stuck, be sure to check out the "official AS3 documentation":http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/index.html then.

I think this (sterialize punishments) has the same problem as the death sentence: it's not revertable. If you sterialize somebody and he/she gets proven innocent later, you can't un-sterialize her. Sterialization is something that lasts for the rest of your life, and I don't think we should do that if the crime isn't hard enough to be put in jail for a lifetime - and if they are put in jail, then they can't sell their children anyway. The bible is against sterialization too, wouldn't this sort of punishment offend many christians?
