CFSCRIPT is loosely based on _javascript_. ActionScript follows the ECMAScript
standard, I think, while CFSCRIPT doesn't. CFSCRIPT was introduced into CF
before Macromedia purchased Allaire. ECMAScript languages use loosely typed
variables, while CFSCRIPT (being part of CF) doesn't. I suspect this would
prevent CFSCRIPT from using _javascript_ operators.
As for your third point, I'm not sure what you mean. CFSCRIPT doesn't
interact directly with any client-side functionality.
