Hi Micky,
Colin Moock (in EAS3) explicitly advises agains the redundant use of 'this' to
avoid visual clutter.
When you work in the Flash IDE though (sorry Jason) it has the advantage that
all variables and methods of 'this' are available in the code hinting
contextual menu. So I think it's really up to your own preference.
