There will be very little change in the Javascript used in LZX.  The  
main changes to Javascript in support of SWF9 and EcmaScript 4 are in  
the LFC sources to take advantage of the (more efficient) class  
declaration.  This change will automatically be handled for LZX code.

There is support for dynamically loading portions of an app in 3.x  
and it will be available eventually in 4.x.  Also on the drawing  
board is the ability to embed one LZX app in another, but that will  
not be available in the first release of 4.x.  [Although you will be  
able to fake it in the DHTML environment, as Max mentioned in another  
thread, by `setText('<object...')`.]
