Adobe ExtendScript development - How different than regular JavaScript?

Question

Question

I\'m wondering how different ExtendScript is from JavaScript? Could I theoretically hire a web developer who has JavaScript savvy to develop it without demand

Answer 1

If it's anything like the scripting used for the old Flash IDE, then I think it's just straight javascript/ECMAScript. The only real difference is the APIs you have avaialble. I expect anyone who's good with javascript would be able to pick it up fairly quickly.
