Here's an example of mine:
Your example didn't appear in the email.
Currently I might name a local variable as 'm_variableName'
Naming local variables m_variableName is a bad idea, as m stands for member
(i.e. instance).
The getter/setter convention used by the Flex framework is
private var _fooBar:int;
public function get fooBar():int
{
return _fooBar;
}
public function set fooBar(value:int):void
{
_fooBar = value;
}
In other words, the backing variable for a getter/setter starts with an
underscore.
Local variables in the Flex framework don't start with anything special.

Subject: Variable Naming Convention
Hello
I am about to set sail on a new project and I thought I should try and improve
my naming conventions throughout the code. Bad habits are easily carried
through from one language/project to the next.
I'm particularly trying to nail down an acceptable (I realise that one person's
'acceptable' makes another person mad) convention for local variable names and
instance variable names when employing Get and Set methods.
Currently I might name a local variable as 'm_variableName' and the instance
variable as 'variableName'. Some people precede the instance variable name with
simply an underscore for the local variable. It appears safe to assume a
lowercase first letter and then capital letters for subsequent 'words' in the
variable name.
Here's an example of mine:
Any thoughts very welcome.
Chris
