                                       Thanks

Answer
hello
well i dont know about a language that can be used to control the camera but there is a way by the 3dstudio's scripting and how is that i dont know but there is another way of how to control the camera

i will explain in steps

1:_make your scene

2:_now place the camera

3:_and now make a spline in such a way in which u want the camera to move for example in the file i have just directly used an helix

4:_select the motion tag (u will find the motion tag in the same line of that of create ,modify, hierarchy& then comes motion the wheel icon)

5:_click on trjectories

6:_choose ur camera and then click on the spline to which u want your camera to follow

7:_for an example for this please goto http://ionstudios.itgo.com/farhan_3d.htm the name for the file is camcont.exe

yours
