   “You scored 6 out of 6. (100.00 %)”

   I had to guess #6, figured it could be IEventDispatcher, for example (”non of the above”) but for some reason Object seemed more like what Adobe would do.

   it’s useful that they left it dynamic for one liners like:

   evt.currentTarget.alpha = 0.5

   but as soon as you need to do more with it, you end up casting:

   var sp:Sprite = Sprite(evt.currentTarget);
   sp.alpha = 0.5;
   sp.rotation = 45;

   … its a tad annoying but I eventually got used to it… always takes my students a bit to get their heads wrapped around this, and the idea of casting in general…

   I too guessed at #6. It could have easily been untyped (*).

   Seeing those 100% marks makes me want to write a really difficult quiz

   I have a few trickier/intermediate level questions in the pipeline… but I may do something super hard in the next few days just for fun

   100% !!
   But, I not agree when you said that the first question is easy.
   Dynamic property is not an easy conception for beginners.

   Are we certified now ? :p

   the 6th one was kind of tough
   i was about to press untyped when i remember i had to type cast for some custom classes events
   and in the end i chose object

    I got 5/6 and guessed number 6 as untyped which it could perhaps be. Cool test!

    Thank you for writing these Zevan. I hope they will help me in my adventure of mastering AS3.
    And I must tell you your big blue book is one of my favorites, it has helped me not only understand AS3 but to get over my math-fear.
    many thanks - jh
