[vet-mm] AS2 v AS3 allowed

Wed Feb 18 22:32:22 EST 2009

Yes they have had the odd question in the past, where you had to select 
the language (Lingo, AS1/2, Javascript) and the code snippet appeared. 
As far as I know, there has been no documentation to say this couldn't 
happen again or that states only pseudocode will be used.
You might take a punt that there won't be questions that ask students to 
read specific script, and so go with AS3, but it would be a gamble!
Cheers
Claire :-)
