Classes will not compile if you try to access variables that are not declared in the class. So by accessing a variable, it is inherently referring to "this" because it absolutely must be, thus that particular use of "this" is redundant and a remnant of the days of AS1 classes (prototype) and maintaining scope within them. That's not to say "this" doesn't have its place, but since its place is more refined now, I find it's more important to reserve its use for those times so it stands out that much more. However, everyone has their own style and if using "this" gives you warm fuzzies, then who am I or anyone to take that away from you? :) _______________________________________________ [email protected] 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
