RE: FLASH: The "Debate"-Why Javascript?

[JGL]

Flash 5 doesn't *use* javascript. F5 ActionScript was developed based on the

ECMA-262 spec, which is also

the spec which JavaScript is based. There are a few things in that spec that

are not adhered too by F5, but is mainly for backwards compatibility, afaik.


Learning javascript, which is very well documented, creates a fundamental

understanding of ECMA-262 spec languages causing you to be able to

understand the F5ActionScripting.


Flash 4's scripting is a rather unique and has very limited scripting

ability. F5 changed all that.

Why Javascript?


What about Flash 4 ...Does this also use Javascript through the Actions???


I've been working with 4 for about six months now and I have been leery to

upgrade to 5

because I've heard on the lists that it is buggy....
