Plug in scripting
Plug-in scripting is a general term to describe any programming that is contained in a embedded page object. The best example of object scripting is 'Lingo', a language to extend the abilities of Macromedia's Shockwave animations. Many of these proprietary plug-in specific languages exist, all with varying capabilities. Some of these languages, including Lingo, can interface with [[JavaScript]].
Typical functions for multi-media plug-ins include:
- Enable buttons to change pages in multi-media presentations
- Move, rotate, and zoom objects based on users requests
