If you change that function, do you re-write all of your documentation?
Nope,. just add a modified comment and, if necessary, a brief
description of how it was changed. Usually I write the comments before I
write (or modify) the function or class, which is a great way to to write
cleaner

Re-read your email. Only recently have I been on bigger projects. Even so,
I'm usually the main developer for a given code-base, and others are on
other projects, so no ones ever looking at the code next to me. Secondly,
the requirements + code-base change
I'm sure at places like Microsoft, etc. where you have many people working
on the same project, which will eventually be upgraded to new versions,
possibly by a mostly new team, in a coding language that doesn't receive
major revisions every year or so, then yes it makes sense.
The reason Jesse
I comment because I'm a total hack. The comments are for me, in case I
need to revisit the code, like, next week. :D
It also helps me see what I'm doing, and sometimes improvements are
more apparent after commenting.

Jesse's comments about how his code is basically disposable (my word)
is interesting.
I think it reflects the nature of flash and its history.
For example I am working on a fairly complex project. I have been
working on it for more than a year. It has lots of pieces that
interact. And what
The ah-hoc comes from scope creep lack of a clear vision, not from
developer planning. I could plan things to a T, only to have a client
change their mind, and pay for that change, rendering my planning
useless..
I don't lose sleep cause I'm getting paid for it.

The longevity of Flash code is also dubious. I mean, C/C++ pretty much
stay
the same. Each new version of AS adds all kinds of new syntax, class
structure, methods, etc. Actionscript is far too malleable to have any
real
shelf life.
It is pretty much the stated goal of Macromedia to put
I think it reflects the nature of flash and its history.
Not to mention the diverse skillset of its developer-base. A lot of
people learned to write code in Flash, and the question of whether they are
doing it the right way or not is debatable.
In other words, as flash becomes a real

functions: avoid, if at all possible.
methods of intrinsic classes are ok (e.g. Math.round()), but calling
an AS function is very slow.

the fastest loop through an array is:
var len = myArray.length;
while( len-- ) {

yes, it's faster then for..in.
Not always. Sometimes, this loop is faster than a while (i--)

remember that when you write code, it is for 2 interpreters:

which may or may not be you...
