> Use meaningful variable and handler names. It's THE first rule of reusable programming.
You are right and that is what I normally do. But in this case I need the name of the handler to be short, because the purpose of the handler is to get me the content of a text cast member. The whole program is for bulding a web site. The various segments of the HTML code are stored in text cast members. And I need the short handler as abbreviation when concatenating the different html chunks. So in this case, the short handler name makes the code even easier to read! Instead of coding htmlText = member(3, "websiteBuilder").text & member(2, "websiteBuilder").text & member(7, "websiteBuilder").text I can write htmlText = t(3) & t(2) & t(7) with the function on t chunkNumber return member(t, "websiteBuilder").text end Or is there a smarter way to do this?
