Never, EVER depend upon the capitalization of #symbols.
There's weird magic where if you enter #ShutUpROYmeo in Director, that capitalization is saved in some symbol look-up-table and it's pretty much always going to be that way. You, or someone, or some bit of lingo/utility code/libraries, etc. had a #resourceID symbol that was the first one it hit, or it may be something used internally in director....mine is showing up as #resourceID, too.
I don't know what it is used for or by, which was your question, sorry.
But people will sometimes ask about this because they want to control capitalization of symbols, and get very frustrated with results like: #Peter, #Paul, #Ringo and #john.

Question for the list:
Is 'resourceid' a reserved word in Director?
Reason why I ask is that I am working on a project where we are passing 'resourceid' as param name (a symbol) to a CGI on a linux server. The param the server receives consistently is 'resourceID'.
So then, just for fun, i type the following in the message window:
put symbol("resourceid")
and it spits out:
-- #resourceID
note the 'i' and 'd' are capitalized.
If I try: put symbol("jimmyid") in message window... it returns: --#jimmyid ... as expected
I've searched the MM support site and help files that came with Director and can't find any instance of the word 'resourceID'
Anyone else experience this? Seems like this would be a logical choice for a reserved word... but can't find any evidence of it.
I'm using Director MX... can reproduce in Director MX on Mac OS X and Windows XP.
Thanks for your help!
