Hi Mark I do agree with a lot of what you said about the benefits JS brings to the Director table, but I'm still not 100% convinced. Now granted I've not had a play with it yet so I'm not sure how complete the Javascript implementation is, but I've still got "gimmick" circling my fevered brain.
Don't get me wrong, JS brings a load of great features to Director development (like Regular Expressions) but perhaps IMO it would've been a lot easier and cleaner to just expand the Lingo language. Call me paranoid but I'm not looking forward to having a load of scripts come my way that use both languages because JS can offer RegExp. I'm a purist, but I'm also somewhat short-sighted too (ActionScripters are gonna love it). Ross P.S. So can we have Lingo or a Basic-esque language built into Flash 2005 please?
