It is called encapsulation.
No one should know how a class does its magic. The external classes are
programmed to the interface (methods)(preferably to an interface class
rather than directly to the implementation) , they are not allowed to
peek inside.

Hi all,
this should be kind of a simple one. I have been creating my Private
variables as simple camelCased names.
private var variableName:VariableType;
I have seen other people creating them as underscore camelCased names and
recently I was challenged that the underscore was the correct
I only use underscore for private variables if I have a public getter

And since we're talking best practices, you don't
have any public instance variables anyhow, hmm? :)
I don't know what best practice you're referring to that claims that
you shouldn't have public instance variables.
The Wikipedia says NEED CITATION.
Which I will promptly ignore as rubbish.
