[Flashcoders] Datatypes that are complex/composite ...

2007-01-10 Thread Stephen Ford
Do you refer to the following datatypes (arrays, objects, movieclips, etc) as 
complex or composite.I'm finding references that use both terms.Not a biggie, 
but would like to hear opinions.___

id stick to 'complex' in general because the word composite to me refers to the 
composite pattern [1]. Although movieclip is an example of the composite pattern 
and a complex object, so you could use both.


There's also the usage of 'composition' (vs. inheritance) [2] which is a way of
creating complex data types, but not necessarily composites.

its a mine field out there :)
