In
your scripts, you may want to track and update lists of data, such
as a series of names or the values assigned to a set of variables.
Both Lingo and JavaScript syntax have access to linear lists and
property lists. In a linear list, each element in the list is a
single value. In a property list, each element in the list contains
two values; the first value is a property name, and the second value
is the value associated with that property.
Because both Lingo and JavaScript syntax have access to linear
and property lists, it is recommended that you use linear lists
and property lists if values in your code are shared between Lingo
and JavaScript syntax scripts.
If values in your code are used only in JavaScript syntax scripts,
it is recommended that you use JavaScript Array objects to work
with lists of data. For more information on using arrays, see JavaScript syntax arrays.
