This is a pretty nice doc and I agree/use most of these while doing as3 development. The use of ALL_CAPS constants makes sense to me but I am not understanding what the purpose would be to not make the variable be the same as the value.
For instance, this is what Adobe says and does from: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Coding+Conventions ------ Constant names Use all uppercase letters with underscores between words: OFF, DEFAULT_WIDTH . The words in the identifier must match the words in the constant value if it is a String: public static const FOO_BAR:String = "fooBar"; ------ For me it makes more sense and helps consistency to make it: public static const FOO_BAR:String = "FOO_BAR"; Anyone have a defense to Adobe's position? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
