I'm going to chime in here.
Lazy Instantiation is an irrelevant argument when you're instantiating
in the constructor. What you perceive as "cleaner" is merely philosophical.
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
vs
var container:Sprite;
public function ClassName()
{
container = new Sprite();
}
I think the single line version is cleaner. In fact, I would argue that
instantiating classes in their variable declaration is a very specific
way of making it extremely clear that those variables are being made
available immediately to the class, and anything that does not have a
definition is going to be lazily instantiated later.
I'm a big fan of this type of coding practice where the meaning is
derived from the style.
My 2 cents,
Steven
