1 On the Flash Lesson 2 in the Advanced Web Design section, in the fifth line after the first picture, you spelled "the" as "them" when referring to "all of the images."

2 You also spelled "separate" wrong on the sixth line. I just notice that while I was looking through the rest of the lesson before posting this.

3 Haha. Then you went on to spell "momentarily" wrong in the last line of the same paragraph.

4On the second paragraph in which you talk about Actionscript, you said that Actionscript 3.0 was released with CS3 in 2006. I had actually looked up Flash on Wikipedia earlier today, and CS3 was released in April, 2007.

5, 6, and 7 In Flash Lesson 3, in the second paragraph of Step 12, you put quotes around the words: “x_speed,” “5,” and “5;” but not around "var" or the other "x_speed." You also should have had a colon before the first picture pertaining to the code.

8 You didn't put quotes around "x_speed" in the fourth line of the second paragraph.

9 and 10 In the second paragraph of step 15, you should have put quotes around the "=" sign in the fourth line and you should have put a colon at the end of the first line.

11 In step 16, you should also have put a colon at the end of the first line.

12 and 13 In step 19, when you are naming the components, it may be necessary to put the different components in quotes. You also didn't punctuate that sentence.

14 In step 21, you should have ended the line with a colon.

15 In step 25, you should have ended the line with a colon.

16 and 17 In step 26, you have an unnecessary "so" in the first line for some reason. You also should have ended the line with a colon.

18 You had an issue where your numbered list of the steps got mixed up with the numbered list at the beginning of the "Scoring Goals" section in which the numbers for steps 27 - 47 are indented, but the other ones before them are not. This could either be counted as one error or twenty.

19 You should have put quotes around the "0" in step 31.

20 At the beginning of the "Intro and Ending Screens" section, you should have ended the first paragraph with a colon.

21 and 22 The text for the beginning of step 43 and the text after the picture in step 43 aren't vertically aligned. Also, in the second line after the picture, you said "listeners" instead of "listener."

23In step 36 near the end, "player's" should be changed to "players'" since it's referring to the scores of both of the players.

30 - 31
The following are instances in which variables are not capitalized in the Flash Lesson 3 page.
"x_speed" in the fourth line under the code in step 13
"x_speed" in the last line of step 15
"Goal" in step 28
"Goal" in step 29
"txtplayer1" in step 33
"txtplayer2" in step 35
"p1wins" and "p2wins" in step 46
"Goal" in step 47
I'm not sure if you would really capitalize "Goal" when referring to the Goal Function. Probably not, but I'll point it out anyway for your consideration.

I originally noticed this when I was looking through the flash lessons since I just installed it yesterday. I decided to look through the whole thing to see how many I could find after encountering a few without even trying to find errors.

That's 31 extra credit points for four separate errors (or 28 if you don't count the "Goal" thing). I believe I derAnything less will be an insult since I otherwise could have gotten four separate points for pointing them out separately. Not to mention the fact that it's for a class I'm not even in yet and that your other Advanced Web Design class never noticed.

There was a time when Micah did something good during Advanced Computer Concepts near the beginning of the term and got to decide between 5 extra credit points and a Lego Man. And since it would be ridiculous to give me 31 extra credit points, I will accept 6 Lego men and one extra credit point.
I've literally spent over two hours finding and comprehensively organizing these errors. I really want those doughnuts and the opportunity to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl with you, Drew, and anyone else in our class in person. I actually had to log back in to post this because I spent so much time making this post.

That is quite a lot of errors, but for the most part they are minor grammatical errors so I usually don't give much extra credit for those. Since you obviously took the time to find all of them, though, I'll offer you two legomen and 10 extra credit points. Take it or leave it.
