It gives me a headache trying to understand how Flash could handle such a huge scale difference... Maybe it's not a single movie clip but several clips and only a few are visible at any given time.

BTW, This shows just how beautiful the Metric System is. :geek:

:rofl: Most Americans I know agree that the metric system is much better/easier/more elegant in every way. It's only money that keeps the feet and inches around.
