NICE... actually that is even better since it includes locals as well as members etc. Guess I should have said "If I knew of a hot-key sequence" :)

Thanks!

  I am not a big fan of the "this", but it is the way I get flexbuilder to

offer code assistance so I don't have to remember and type out the names
of the methods and member variables of my class. So... it frequently
ends up staying in the code. If there were a hot-key sequence that
produced the same list I don't think I'd ever have "this" in my code
again.

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
