Flash provides interest where no other program
can. The way that it presents interaction has
no equal. Just imagine trying to use Java or
C++ to provide the movie on the right-hand side,
and you can imagine who powerful Flash is. It
still amazes me that Director still seems to
be the preferred choice in most multimedia courses,
as it is often combursome in its support for
additional programming. Flash, though, provides
Actionscript which is equivalent to writing
C/C++ code. Thus to someone with a background
in programming and in object-oriented methods,
it also become like an extension to a standard
programming environment.
Lingo to me seems like a foreign language.
Statements such as:

mouseUp me
go to frame 10
end |
just doesn't seem as logical as:
on
(release) {
gotoAndStop(10)
} |
or
just isn't the same as:
