at 3:30 when you are typing window -exists how did you get the box with flags to appear?

Hey Brendan, I made a new channel for my start up company, sorry for the super late reply! It's been a helluva couple years!
To answer your questions, in the script editor you go to Command > Show Tooltip Help
That will prompt the flags tool tip for anything you're writing :) Hope this helped if you haven't found the answer yet!

Hey Atrocious J, i believe you're missing an open bracket after the if ( ) { } statement
