Is there a light out there that can change from a near perfect to perfect spot, to a perfect or near perfect flood? This seems to be the kind of light that I am going to go after for my whole life because every light that I know of either doesnt change focus, or can do a excellent spot but a flood with a hole in it or vice versa.

A2 does not fit your description, it is fixed focus, same with the Tigerlight. X990 does change from spot to flood, but its pretty damned large and heavy.
Practically the only reason M*gs don't suk is that they have near infinite, very quick, spot-to-flood change capability, vigorously protected by team of attorneys. With a Medium Orange Peel Reflector(MOP)installed, you loose some throw and tight spot, but can mostly eliminate the donut hole in the M*glite- a compromise to be sure, but you might like it. Become an attorney when you grow up and you may be able to afford any custom, one-off special light you want.
Considering you are only 12?, you may not have to wait your entire life for that elusive quality. Just think (out of the box /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif ), do not slide projectors have nice uniform bright white beam-patterns? With the ones that have a zoom lens, you can change the size of the projected image! Perhaps some type of projection lens/zoom lens reduced to small enough size for a flashlight coupled with high-output, super-efficient LED, or some new light emitting technology not yet even known now, of the future, will get you what you want? Think positive thoughts.
Used A2's can be found on BST forum for around $100-135, don't expect one of these tiny lights to throw like a focused larger reflector M*glite though. Could change you usrnm to "SF'sR2Bling-Bling" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif , but the SF contingent here may also get offended (that is the truth, it's a high quality product, if unaffordable for many).
