Sorry folks, I don't see this on the website? I get 404'D when I try to follow either of the external links. MetaStar 22:01, 25 Sep 2004 (MST)

[edit] a RUNNING gag?
I want to start a page about Running on hills or something similar. In mile and in Ballad of The Sneak there are similar scenes whee characters run on the hills just like the intro. Are there more like this? — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 10:19, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Movie Not Loaded...
Seems to be not present in Flash Player 9 when this movie runs.

- Does anyone have a Flash decompiler on hand? What Flash file is this one calling on when you click "Close"? --70.143.29.193 19:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- The script actions for the close button are listed as follows:
// Button actions...
on (release)
{
this.unloadMovie();
}
- I dunno what any o' that means. But that's what it says. --DorianGray 20:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

- "this" is a keyword that refers to the object that the code is attached to; it's the child of "parent". So, Old Intro 2 tries tounload itself from the Museum. Also, this has some (lots) information about unloadMovie(). (Now I know how to remove something from loadMovie()!

[edit] Blue Hat?
Should it be counted as a goof or fun fact that the brim of Homestar's hat is blue when you see his back? CompyError 02:48, 20 December 2008 (UTC)CompyError
- I don't think so; that's the top of his hat brim, a side we never see anywhere else.
- Actually, I've noticed that it's red when we see his back. For example, there's A Jorb Well Done and SBCG4AP. CompyError 02:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)CompyError
