Nope. Lingo is a higher level scripting language than what Flash uses.

Lingo is used for Director, and even though it was requested by many to be

introduced in Flash, Macromedia needs to keep Flash the red-headed step

child of Director so that people will still need *both* to do some tasks.


Flash uses a stack-based implementation for equations and parsing, but it

would not be really considered a language. The programming is stored as

data structure, not really compiled/interpreted code (as I imagine Lingo is).
