I always thought "$" stands for "scaler", which is basically a variable
in PERL, which PHP inherited (PHP was originally a PERL module ?)

It shows that the developer broke the underscore key on his keyboard :)
And that he's most likely a PHP developer.. or both.
gd$rating --> gdRating --> gd_rating
And I assume "gd" stands for Google Data --> Google Data API
http://code.google.com/intl/nl-BE/apis/gdata/overview.html
gd is also a namespace in the GData XML in the YouTube Data API

Subject: [Flashcoders] What's the dollar symbol for?
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
