Hi,
Word semantics here: I'm curious as to why SE2's Dictionary window
uses the label "Events" rather than the traditional "Commands" [1] in
the outline column. Does it represent a fundamental future shift in
AS jargon, or is it just a minor oversight in need of
standardisation? [2]
Cheers,
has
[1] Commonly used by scripters and all the AS literature I've ever
read, including ASLG.
[2] BTW, I'd like to see a clear distinction drawn between messages
sent by the application to the user, "Events", and messages sent by
the user to the application, "Commands". That puts the emphasis on
how things are _used_ (which is important), rather than how things
_work_ (which is not).
(Mind you, I'd like to see quite a number of changes and additions
made to the application dictionary format in general.)
