Nope, doesn't translate to anything intelligible.

hm. no hex, eh? still, I have a feeling those numbers are significant.
any thoughts?

I'm afraid I may just be dense but I've just noticed that the Wildfire Industries website flash intro sports lots of what look like organic compound structures. Could they be involved in genetic modification technology? But what has that got to do with e-business?

I took the numbers that were posted on page 1 from the website flash movie, removed all the zeroes and got this:

6 8 4 7 1 9 8 2 6 4 4 7 7 9

Replaced the letters with corresponding letters in the alphabet and got

f h d g a i h b f d d g g i

tried rot'ing it and got a lot of gibberish.

so nothing in that one. Guess I'll keep trying other random ideas then Smile

Here's a thought I'm having regarding the numbers that "fly by" on the flash intro:

The flash has a background of organic compounds which could be genetic material such as proteins. There are "protein alphabets" (e.g. DNA has a 7 letter alphabet: AGCTRYN) It's possible that the number sequence represents a protein sequence and we need to apply the correct alphabet.

http://bioweb.pasteur.fr/docs/sam/node9.html

as an example. There may be better web pages to search out. Thoughts? Anyone good with protein chemistry?

Minor query: I thought DNA only had four, A-T and C-G.

Those are Base Pairs, the proteins are a little different. I haven't done any Biology in a few years, but I do recall there being actually about 12 proteins of different sorts that were defined by different orders of the 3-base pair groups... hrmmmph.

I looked at the intro flash page, and they go by really quickly!

They don't really look like amino acids or bases to me - more like some type of lipid or sugar in terms of complexity. They could equally well be a series of related complex chemicals though (biological or non-biological).

The way they appeared to be laid out seemed to suggest the person who put the Flash intro together just grabbed a figure of closely-related chemical species as a backdrop.
I might be wrong, but with the amount of overlay and blurring, I don't really think there's a code to be found in them Dunno

Edit: I'm almost tempted to think it is some kind of antibiotic series, but that's just a guess Wink

2nd and Last Edit: I did see reaction arrows in there, so it seems to be a few steps in the synthesis of something. However, I can't read the words which go by (even now I have discovered the step-through of Flash). In addition, the structures are duplicated twice on the intro - once on the left, and repeated on the right half of the flash intro.

That's about all I can get from it, and it's probably nothing anyway Rolling Eyes

yeah I'd agree, I think this is probably a red herring.

Knowing Delton's sense of humour, I'll wager it's probably caffeine. Wink
