I've used it to indicate arguments in a function to clarify the origin of
the variable, like this:
function myFunc($arg1,$arg2){
trace($arg1+" : "+$arg2);
}
I don't know where I picked that up, but for me it makes the code easier to
read since you know immediately they are arguments. I've seen people use
the underscore for the same purpose, but that can confuse things since
ActionScript uses that for some native properties (_x,_y).
Does anyone else do this, or am I just in my own little universe?
