The keyword "this" makes sense to me. I use it for instance variables. I guess at the end of the day, though, as long as you're consistent anyone can pick up your code.
For MovieClip and addChild, is this similar to the way we use XML in AS2? As in, you use createElement, then appendChild? I'm a little confused like Frédéric about what happens when you add a child multiple times. Is a new instance created for each addChild? If so, is the return a reference to the new instance? (again, in the same metaphor as XML children) If this is not the case, then would adding multiple times just cause an error or overwrite the previous addChild? Just wondering how you reference the child(ren).
