You need the this in any case the scope of the variable or method is not
clear. In all other cases the this is not necessary. I don't use it.
Tools such as FDT highlight instance properties differently to local or
argument variables. This makes it easy to visually detect the scope of a
property even if no this is in use.
public var value : String = "";
public function setValue(value : String) : void {
this.value = value;
}

Micky,
There are no stupid questions!
Only stupid people who don't ask their question... and yes, there are stupid
answers. :-)
As for the prefix, IMO it is unnecessary, but some people find it easier to
read their code.
I'll will not call myself a pro, but I never use it.
HTH,
Cor

Subject: [Flashcoders] using "this" in AS3 classes?
Hi,
Stupid question, but...
Let's say I have some class properties:
private var _mc1:MovieClip;
private var _mc2:MovieClip;
... and methods:
private function baz():void { ... }
private function foo():void { ... }
In my code, would it be overkill to always reference the above examples with a prefix of
"this"?
For example:
this._mc1 = ...;
this._mc2 = this.mc1;
this.baz();
this.foo();
I could easily do this instead:
_mc1 = ...;
_mc2 = mc1;
baz();
foo();
Sorry if silly question, I am just kinda wondering what the pros do. :)
Best practices?
Thanks!
Micky
