> If MACR is listening, that would be a nice bug fix for Director MX 2016.
We've been trying to get Macromedia to standardize dot-syntax usage for at least three versions. Buzz and I even went to the effort of preparing a list of missing/inconsistent dot syntax for them. I feel like I was saying "Please, sir, may I have another bowl of porridge?" I know, Tom, send it to the wish list. I have, as have others. But I think we've given up because it never gets addressed. It just hasn't become a priority. They have the time and resources to essentially rewrite ActionScript, but they don't have time to address basic issues in Director: 1. Consistent dot syntax 2. A real script editor 3. A real paint window 4. Add your own pet peeve(s) And so on. I think we have to get used to life as second-class citizens. Director made Macromedia what it is now, but Flash is the flavor of the day, so Flash gets the resources.
