   hehe... nah... but the idea is similar... flash stuff is script (activescript   
   i think they call it) that is then "compiled" and fed to the flash engine for   
   execution...   
      
   most script kiddies are using scripts or code that they are throwing together   
   with no clue how it works... some of them are not even using scripts but   
   pre-compiled stuff... in either case, they can't even fix it since they don't   
   understand it... they are generally trying to break into systems for various   
   purposes...

   it only takes time to perfect one's skills ;)
