Naming conventions don't matter.  What matters is whatever you pick, be 
consistent.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Naming conventions for AS2.0 ...



Does anyone have an opinion, or a preferred method, in regards to
naming conventions for AS2.0 objects ?

For example, Macromedia recommends:

clip_mc (movie clip)
comm_lc (local connection)
names_array (array)
beep_sound (sound)
field_txt (text field)
etc, etc, etc

but what if I wanted to use an generic object or a boolean datatype:

listener_???:Object = new Object();
answer_???:Boolean = false;

These are just two datatypes Macromedia doesn't list in terms of
suffixes (search for 'About using suffixes to trigger code hints' in the
official Flash help documentation built into Flash).

So another technique I have seen is prefixing variables, like:

mcClip (movie clip)
lcComm (local connection)
aNames (array)
etc, etc, etc

Someone must have a foolproof way to do this, there must be
a technique that covers all possibilities for naming variables ???

Thanks,
Stephen.
