Third, it's good to name private properties using a naming
convention that allows you to easily identify in your code the fact
that it is a class property. I prepend a "p" to the variable name,
others like prepending a "_" character. Do whatever you want, just
use it consistently.
Not wishing to diminish Nathen's advise, it may be useful to know how
to distinguish between parameters and properties sharing the same
name in a class...
class Example
{
private var theNum : Number; // class property
function Example()
{}
public function changeNum( theNum : Number ):Void
{
// to set class property theNum to the value of method parameter
theNum
this.theNum = theNum;
}
}
