Personally, my feeling is "whatever works for you, works for you" - by that I mean that over the years of not declaring xTalk variables I have gotten to the point that the likelihood of me making an error in typing a variable is extremely low, so there really is very little benefit and a lot of extra hassle for me to start declaring them. But that's me... Anything that makes the process more efficient is good, IMHO.
I'm with Ken. I don't declare variables and have spent so many hours working this way, it's just easier. I rarely if ever find a problem from not declaring vars, and the overhead of the typing and visual clutter is a nuisance and a time waste to me. Also, I really like using script locals, and inserting local vars within handlers would 'look funny' to me as I generally think of: local lColor as a scriptwide var. I would expect most of us who've 'grown up' using HyperCard and SuperCard aren't as concerned with declaring vars, as those who have worked more with traditional programming languages. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
