> what is the meaning of the characters "me" as in "me.spriteNum"
"me" is a variable that points to an instance of an object in memory (an
'instance' of an object is analogous to the way a sprite is an
'instance' of a castMember). Explaining its use is a little beyond the
scope of a few sentences, but as long as you know that you should use it
in Behaviors and other OOP objects, at least after handler or event
names, you should be okay.
> or "p" as in "pModel"? When does one use these?
"p" is part of a common variable-naming convention; it most likely means
"property". A property is a variable used by a Behavior or OOP object.
"P-Model" is also the name of a cool 70's-80's techno-band from Japan.
The world has P-Model to thank for Hirasawa Susumu.
Note that the "p" isn't actually part of the language, as "me" is; you
could leave the "p" off the variable name and it wouldn't make any
difference (as long as the rest of the code reflected it).
Hope this is useful,
Rob
