Greetings All,
Whenever I study code generated by seasoned programmers (i.e. all
the Adobe people supporting Flex on this list) as well as countless
others on this list, I notice that some use "this" when referencing
local variables contained within a Class.
The last thing I want to do here, is start a heated discussion
regarding "best practices" for programming. My goal on a daily
basis, is to better myself as a programmer, and I want to make sure
that the code I create, conforms to certain standards.
Could some of you please offer your 2 Cents regarding the advantages/
disadvantages of using "this"? Just a quick example:
package
{
public class myClass()
{
private var testVar:String;
public function myClass( value:String )
{
this.testVar = value;
// versus:
testVar = value;
}
}
}
Thank you all so much in advance, for any help you can offer
regarding this topic.
Mike
