Move from QSA to QT Script

As of Toon Boom Harmony 10.3, Toon Boom Animation has changed the scripting language. The scripting language has changed to Qt Script from QSA for a better and faster scripting environment than before. Script storage is now done as plain text, *.js instead of *.qsa format.

This change to the API improves the software and supports 64-bit platforms. As always, we have made every effort to enable backward compatibility between this version and earlier versions which used QSA script.

Simple functions should port seamlessly.

Class definitions must follow the new QT Script syntax, so existing scripts may be modified.
