The most important thing about naming conventions is actually having one ;-) Which one is not that important (IMO) as long as it's clear and consistent and you (and your team) stick by it.
I use the "Handler" suffix for event handlers, often in combination with the instance id/name that invokes it. listItemClickHandler, submitClickHandler, videoCompleteHandler, etc.. Where the first part would be the id of a control. I think Adobe (FLex 2 framework) sometimes uses an underscore between the instance id and the suffix videoID_completeHandler listID_itemClickHandler buttonID_clickHander etc.. regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fabio Serra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] AS 3 and Flex naming convention > Muzak wrote: >> There's a non-official guide here: >> >> http://blog.dclick.com.br/2007/02/13/adobe_flex_coding_guidelines_english/ >> http://blog.dclick.com.br/wp-content/uploads/adobe-flex-coding-guidelines-v12-english.pdf >> >> > > Thank you, it is very interesting and I follow the most part of the > rules.
