Is there an ‘official’ document with guidelines for writing actionscript 3? I’m looking specifically for naming guidelines.

Some examples could be, pascal or camelcasing, underscores for private fields, function naming, using \_txt and \_mc (to trigger hints in the Flash CS3 editor mainly), naming of event listeners etc.

If there is not such a reference, what are your preferences?

Thank you!
