ABSTRACT

What is Lingo? Lingo is a list of instructions written in a very specific way, which is converted into a series of codes.When the Shockwave Player reads the codes, it performs the instruction in an unambiguous way. For example, if it found the instruction

x 23

then it would check to see if it had a slot in memory called x, and if it had then it would set the value in this slot to 23; if it had no slot then it would create one and then set it to 23.You can add Lingo to a movie in several different ways; behaviors, movie scripts, parent scripts and scripts attached to cast members.We will look first at adding a score behavior script.
