Given that ActionScript (being essentially a variation on JavaScript) relies
on a Flash-specific object model with objects such as movie clips, etc, what
exactly would it mean to merge ActionScript and CFML (which is a server-side
language used for generating text output - no objects to speak of)? What
would a combination of these two very different languages look like? What
kind of CFML functionality would you like to see in ActionScript, and how
would you use it?
Note that this isn't intended to start a "slanging match", whatever that is.
I'm genuinely curious. The two languages are so directly opposed in their
differences (or at least that's how it seems to me) that I literally can't
imagine why you'd want to merge them, or what that merger would look like.
