Read the Atlas Manual (RTAM)
I've been posting what I thought were dumb questions in the atlas forums. I thought this even though there is currently a real lack of documentation. Either last last night or early this morning, it hit me just open up the debug version of the AtlasRuntime.js file. I've learned a lot just opening up the js file. Read The Atlas Manual = RTAM. Its been very enlightening today.
