It's neither AS2 or AS1 centric. Substituting [] for new Array() or {} for new Object() is universal across many languages. Personally, I prefer the visual [] and {} to the wordy new Array() and new Object(). It's quicker to write, and it's easier to read.
[] {} Plenty of research has been done on the subject of icons versus words but suffice to say we don't write 100 dollars and 0 cents, we write $100.00. When you write music you don't write QUARTER NOTE C. You just draw a quarter note symbol on the C line. That's how I look at writing code. :) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
