Hi Adobe friends... I'm taking a stab at converting my lingo scripts to javascript syntax. I started with a very easy one. My question is why does on beginSprite(me) NOT translate to function beginSprite(this){}. That returns an error of missing formal parameter, and function beginSprite(){}

Thanks, Tom, it makes sense. I never imagined you could emulate public and private variables within a behavior that simply. It has sunk in, but getting it to stick in my brain is a different story... Going forward, I may have more questions on js syntax. A recent project I just completed made

One thing I'd like to suggest, is that in the script window, the js syntax doesn't seem to auto-indent when, in my case, I actually get it correct. Believe me, I realize the pain induced by the level of auto-formatting for JS in the Script window (or rather the lack thereof). The only
