Navigation General Lingo Concepts Lingo is Director's powerful scripting language. Lingo is similar to a programming language. Because it is so closely related to programming you must try to think like a programmer when using lingo. However, you should never let the program dictate your creative process.
Scripts are combinations of words that convey information and instructions.
Lingo scripts can basically be placed in three places with a fourth location available when you are more advanced. Sprite Scripts are attached to a sprite in the score channel for interactivity and other purposes. These take precedence over cast member scripts. Cast Member Scripts go on a cast member and are good for having the cast member always do the exact same thing. A black L will appear in the cast if that cast member has a script.
