MACROMEDIA CERT

[Ed Mack]

Look at this question (out of the forte test), it looks like the author is just trying to confuse us with double negitives:

Which of the following is not true?:
Functions can refer to movie clip events not loaded in the Timeline

In English, it means

"Functions can refer to movie clip events in the Timeline"

it is confusing... that's why you rarely see a "NOT" question in a certification exam. The material can be tested more clearly and accurately simply by changing the wording of the question.

so I went to the Macromedia site:
http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handler...65&method=full

and pulled down all the Flash 5 developers listed.. and found some interesting stats:

107 people are listed as passing the exam in the US
215 are listed as passing the exam worldwide (including US)

67 (of the 215 or 31%) passed the exam on either Sept. 18-21 or Sept. 30 of 2001. My guess is this was the beta testing period, as only 7 people took it in late Oct of 2001 and 7 in Dec.

(nice of them to output the data in comma-delimited format so I could pull it into Excel quickly.. hehe)
