If by "pedagogical view" you imply "introduction", then; No I guess not. But later in the learning curve... as in now ... then; Yes. ;-) >(as compared to 'objects instantiated from >scripts' and 'uninstantiated scripts'?). By extension of my logic, you could argue that there is no such thing as an 'uninstantiated script'! At least, as soon as you reference a script, it is through an instantiated reference. But of course, I understand what you mean by the term 'uninstantiated script', and frankly this issue makes me feel that my vocabulary is woefully inadequate... at least for any 'pedagogical' purposes... ;-) >The reason I don't treat them as >instances (and I am happy to be corrected) is because there is no way to >store dynamic data in them (other than the implicit data provided by >director) See other mail.
