Re: [Flashcoders] vars with $
I disagree. We use them to denote class members, and I've found it
very effective.

I don't know where I picked that up, but for me it makes the code easier to
read since you know immediately they are arguments. I've seen people use
the underscore for the same purpose, but that can confuse things since
ActionScript uses that for some native properties (_x,_y).

Re: [Flashcoders] vars with $
Another relatively useful use is for flash getters/setters:
class MyClass{
// you can't call this property id
// because of the name of the get/set functions
private var $id:Number;
public function get id():Number {
return $id;
}
// use of p_xx for parametrical variables
public function set id(p_id:Number):Void {
$id = p_id;
}
}
It's up to you to choose between $, p_, _, or mc, txt, or whatever
prefix you like to distinguish things more easily in your code.
For my part, I don't use any prefix except for ui elements ('mc' for
MovieClip, 'txt' for TextField, etc...)
Tom Lee a écrit :
The real benefit to marking parameters is when you use variables within a
function that are defined outside the function. You could make an argument
that it's poor practice to do so, but there it is. I guess you could prefix
every other kind of variable instead. Also, when you are choosing names for
your parameters marking them with some universal prefix is an easy way to
avoid naming collisions.
Does anyone really port ActionScript to PHP and Perl or did you just mean
working in both languages individually?

I don't see why using a holder clip would cause you to lose a significant amount of performance. Could it be there was some code in your holder clip that was causing the problem?

Re: [Flashcoders] Vars between game levels
Thanks for the idea Andy, I´ll try that. Adam, I know it´s strange. What I do in the base file is to define the 4 vars I need, create the sound objects - one for each level plus one for the base screen, and the screens to be showed before entering and while exiting each level. It works online and the performance problem doesnt happen all the time, but only when I move the player. But this doesn´t happen when I am running it directly on it´s html. A strange fact is that it takes too much time to export the swf, what doesn happen even in the levels files. It´s a pitty, cause I don´t have time to keep looking for what´s wrong and using a base swf is perfect for this game.
