There is no direct capability to do this but hopefully with the new easier access to
objects (like a dynamic/editable text field on stage in your SWF) the work-around
won't be too difficult.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this but I'm inclined to say that it's not
correct. Saying "all the MX actionscript commands...will no work happily within
Director MX" is a dicey statement. We don't support all ActionScript as an alternate
syntax if that's what you meant. We do support access to a wide variety of Flash
objects from Lingo, and once you've pulled an object reference you can then use its
methods/properties as defined in ActionScript, but that's not the same as "all MX
actionscript" in my head. Example:
tMath = newObject("Math")
put gMath.asin(-0.2328)
-- -0.2350
Is that what you meant by your statement? If not can you be more precise as to what
you meant as I'd be happy to provide more info as necessary.
