I just found out that the windows version will NOT publish to mac OS 9 or earlier :a:

... also, theres still no support for multiple undos :scream:




Oh well, so much for that. I don't intend on upgrading now.

Will they change Lingo at all? Like what they did from MX to MX2004 for Flash with AS?

[senocular]

Lingo has new additions as well as the new javascript syntax. Now Ive looked around on that and I havent found too much information on how the Javascript syntax works - whether its just an interpretation of lingo (like AS2 isto AS1) or whether its a new model for handling commands in a director project allowing for more flexibility, as, some things you can do with javascript you cannot do with lingo.

all of the reviews say "JavaScript syntax", so I assume it's only a different syntax or interpretation (like VB and JS in ASP.net)

Yeah, thats kind of what I expect :-/ But even then, with *=/++ operator support, that'd still be a nice thing.
