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).

P.S. So can we have Lingo or a Basic-esque language built into Flash 2005
please?
