+1 for lua

here is the trick:

[lua]local brain = require (“brain”)

local doCoolApps = function ( corona )

if corona then

brain.remove ( ECMA )
ECMA = nil
collectgarbage ( “collect” )

brain:insert ( lua )
end
end

doCoolApps ( true ) [import]uid: 13632 topic_id: 15765 reply_id: 65266[/import]

#22

Or

private function doCoolApps (experience)  
{  
 if(experience=="AS3")  
 {  
 import "ECMAKnowledge";  
 delete "Luahelpfile";  
 }  
}  
  
doCoolApps(var experience:String);

…you could of course include PHP, Javascript, Java, C#, C++ or any number of other languages.

I will reiterate AGAIN - I don’t mind Lua too much, I was just interested to understand why it was chosen! [import]uid: 95579 topic_id: 15765 reply_id: 65270[/import]

[as3]
public static var performance:String = “Lousy”;

return false;
}
}
doCoolApps(“AS3”) ; [import]uid: 13632 topic_id: 15765 reply_id: 65272[/import]

or…

[code]
public static var performance:String = “Lousy”;

private function doCoolApps (experience)
{
if(experience==“AS3”)
{
import “adobe.air”;
trace ( performance );
tryLua(experience)
}
}

private function tryLua(experience)
{
delete(experience);
var readLuaHelp:Timer = new Timer(100000);
readLuaHelp.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,TrawlWebForLuaHelp);
}

private function TrawlWebForLuaHelp()
{
Browser.SetDateTo1995;
Browser.TurnOffAllFormatting;
}

doCoolApps(“AS3”) ;

I learn basic language for my apple many years ago. Then have not touch programming many many years.
I try to pick up objective C for my hobby to build Iphone game. It is not possible for me to use such highend language. But for Lua I only need few weeks I already can build some game for fun. Now I’m learning using sqlite and director. It is more fun.

Lua is great language.
