Hi, I use const for types always. Since it is a constant.
If you look in the flex framework, you will see they use const also. Peace, Mike On 12/20/06, ben.clinkinbeard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I was just creating a custom event class (subclass of CairngormEvent) and as I was adding the "type" property I thought of something. I generally do: public static var DO_MY_LAUNDRY_EVENT:String = "doMyLaundry"; but doesn't making it a constant makes more sense? public static const DO_MY_LAUNDRY_EVENT:String = "doMyLaundry"; It should never be changed, so const seems appropriate. Curious as to whether I had been doing it wrong all this time I looked at the CairngormStore app and it is done both ways in that code. So I would like to confirm that it is mostly just a matter of preference and irrelevant unless you're worried about some troublemaker coming along and trying to change your event type. Is this correct? Thanks, Ben
