Description

This companion book to Director in a Nutshell covers all aspects of Lingo, Director's powerful scripting language, and is the book for which both Director users and power Lingo programmers have been yearning. An essential tool for both new and experienced Lingo programmers, this concise guide explains how Lingo "thinks" and includes many programming examples as well as undocumented commands. In typical nutshell style, Lingo in a Nutshell explores the syntax, structure, and commands of the language. It includes numerous useful Lingo examples, corrects many errors found in Macromedia's Lingo documentation, and details dozens of misdocumented and undocumented Lingo keywords that are omitted from Macromedia's manuals and third-party books. Detailed chapters describe messages, events, scripts, handlers, variables, lists, file I/O, Behaviors, child objects, Xtras, and more. Lingo in a Nutshell caters to the huge pool of Director users attempting to bridge the Lingo gap, yet provides the details for the experienced Linguist that are lacking in other Lingo books.
