I've used it to indicate arguments in a function to clarify the origin of the variable, like this: function myFunc($arg1,$arg2){ trace($arg1+" : "+$arg2); } 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).
