Hi Steve,
It is just a way of naming variables. The Adobe docs say this about it:
"Variable names can only contain letters, numbers, and dollar signs
($). Do not begin variable names with numbers. Variables must be
unique and they are case-sensitive in Flash Player 7 and later. "
If you look further in his code you see he also uses it for the
comments:
_data.gd$comments
_data.gd$comments.gd$feedLink
_data.gd$comments.gd$feedLink.countHint
Hope this helps you,
Sid

Hi, I am working with Martin Legris's great Youtube API class and
wondered what this was
( _data.gd$rating )
What does the dollar symbol do?
Here is a link to the particular class-
http://as3-youtube-data-api.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ca/newcommerce/youtube/data/VideoData.as
This is the getter-
public function get rating():RatingData
{
return new RatingData(_data.gd$rating);
}
PS I looked at Adobe's online help but could not find a reference to
it.
Thanks Steve
