Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 in ActionScript 2.0. Positively poetic!

More than being a cute project, I think it is also a good example of just how readable ActionScript is. Oh AJAX person… would you be a dear and come over and read this for me? Doesn’t it look hauntingly familiar? It harkens back to your DHTML days of old, but much like English has moved on from the days of Shakespeare, ActionScript has taken ECMA-script and undergone a little linguistic evolution.

Now if you wanted to make a whole play, you might also see how ActionScript has also added the many benefits of object oriented programming. I look forward to AS3 Romeo and Juliet. But I will leave Object Oriented Shakespeare to one that is geekier than I.
