Hi,
Does anyone know a MediaWiki API library written in Action Script? I have an AS developer willing to start learning about MW and I wanted to make it easy for him. If not, what would be a near language that we do have a library for? JS? Java?
Thanks, Strainu
Both ActionScript and JavaScript are ECMAScript languages and are thus pretty similar. I last did AS coding about 4 years ago but I don’t think the language has changed significantly since then.
I’d be surprised if there was an ActionScript library for MediaWiki, so your best bet is JavaScript.

When I used ActionScript it was fairly easy to communicate back and forth with JavaScript. I'd use the JavaScript API and talk to it from ActionScript.
