This, right here, is why I love coding. Because she is completely right. The idea of magic is that you can say a few words and get some huge result. Coding is like that, the only difference being that you write a few words instead.
Haha I knew someone would catch me using something a real developer wouldn’t use. But uh, yeah, the clients demanded it be compatible for older Flash players! Yeah!
I and lots of animators actually work in Actionscript 2 documents because 3 seems to really slow down complicated animated scenes, at least on Macs. So I hiss at Actionscript 3 for my own selfish reasons.
Panel 1:
Lisa: It's magic!
Patrick: What is?
Lisa: Coding!
Panel 2:
Lisa: Just a few lines indecipherable text results in an action!
Panel 3:
Lisa: See, I put this code in, and now when you click the banner ad, dancing ladies take over the screen! Magic! Allow me to show you.
Panel 4:
Lisa (pointing to the screen with her wacom pen): on(release)gotoandplay("movie2") !!!
Patrick (pointing at her with a pencil): Expelliarmus!

if only my exam day after would be like magic….
“A few lines of magic” – sounds like a coke reference
And Lisa learns a new skill.
For her, bravery = career advancement.
Ooh! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing! Lisa! Use your newfound powers for Good!

Hiisss…. Actionscript 2! It burns us precious…
Though I guess some ad services require it for older Flash Player compatibility.
(I think too much about these things, but since Flash programming is my job, this series of strips have been AWESOME! Thanks, Mary!)
