that matter?
I 2nd bad practice. It's unreadable and less efficient. I would hate to read
code where ids were named myComponent1, myComponent2, etc... It would be so
much better to just reference readable names in an indexed Array.
# var myComponents:Array = [ idFirstName, idLastName, idEmail ];
#
# for (var i=0; i<myComponents.length-1; i++){
# var example:Object = this.myComponents[i];
# //do some more stuff
# }
Although, I can't think of any reason why you would want to loop through
components like that in the first place. Maybe .NET has different practices
though.
