Micky, There are no stupid questions! Only stupid people who don't ask their question... and yes, there are stupid answers. :-)
As for the prefix, IMO it is unnecessary, but some people find it easier to read their code. I'll will not call myself a pro, but I never use it.

Hi, Stupid question, but... Let's say I have some class properties: private var _mc1:MovieClip; private var _mc2:MovieClip; ... and methods: private function baz():void { ... } private function foo():void { ... } In my code, would it be overkill to always reference the above examples with a prefix of "this"? For example: this._mc1 = ...; this._mc2 = this.mc1; this.baz(); this.foo(); I could easily do this instead: _mc1 = ...; _mc2 = mc1; baz(); foo(); Sorry if silly question, I am just kinda wondering what the pros do. :) Best practices? Thanks!
