Hi Steve, It is just a way of naming variables. The Adobe docs say this about it: Variable names can only contain letters, numbers, and dollar signs ($). Do not begin variable names with numbers. Variables must be unique and they are case-sensitive in Flash Player 7 and later. If you

What does the dollar symbol do? It shows that the developer broke the underscore key on his keyboard :) And that he's most likely a PHP developer.. or both. gd$rating -- gdRating -- gd_rating And I assume gd stands for Google Data -- Google Data API

I have seen people using the $ symbol in ActionScript to denote private variables, but this does not seem to be the case... Agree with Muzak - probably a confused PHP developer, at least they are not trying the transition from Basic (can't wait to see those comparison vs assignment bugs :))

Not really.. The guidelines specify to prepend a getter/setter with a dollar sign if it overrides an inherited getter/setter. quote If a class overrides a getter/setter and wants to continue to expose the base getter/setter, it should do so by implementing a property whose name is the base

[Flashcoders] Recommendation for AS3 decompiler?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good tool for decompiling SWFs (and if possible SWCs) written in ActionScript 3? Must run on MacOS 10.5. I was considering buying the SoThink SWF Decompiler for Mac, but unfortunately it often crashes when I select an SWF I just built with Flex
