Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification



Confirmed errors:


{32} IN PRINT: Figure 1-8, the object reference this._parent is missing from lines 11, 12, 
17, and 18. 

SHOULD BE: 
11   this._parent.q1answer = 1;
12   this._parent.gotoAndStop("q2");

17   this._parent.q1answer = 2;
18   this._parent.gotoAndStop("q2");

(Note that the code is correct as listed in the corresponding Example 1-2.)


(171)  Just below page center, Paragraph ending: "see Example 3-1";
"see Example 3-1" should read: "see Example 13-1"

For ease of verification, note that example 13-1 appears on page 338.


(516) 
The Date.setUTCFullYear() method is listed as having only a year parameter. In actual fact, 
it also has month and day parameters that function exactly like the parameters of the same 
name defined by Date.setFullYear().
