ScalaScript is the scripting language that underlies all InfoChannel scripts. Script files saved by InfoChannel are actually text files of ScalaScript commands, which describe the objects and flow of the script, and refer to external graphics and sound files.
ScalaScript is in no way related to the newer JVM-based programming language called Scala.
Using various advanced ScalaScript techniques, or combining ScalaScript with another scripting language such as VBScript, JScript, or Python opens up many new possibilities and capabilities for playback.
