Yes, one of my uses for arrays in Director is storage of "imaging 
Lingo" data. The combination of imaging lingo, and the ability to store 
raw image data within the context of an element of a multi-dimensional 
array is what allows entire dynamic interfaces to be drawn in real-time 
based on the image content of those arrays. Now that is cool.

I'd love to have that kind of rapid list handling and 
imageData-to-screen capacity in Rev.
