I write this as a reply to the locked sticky on varible naming.  
As is stated in the sticky in flash you use \_txt for example to name variables,  
I have almost no actionscript experience so i don’t know if this is used,  
but in other program languages mosty the hungarian naming convention is used.  
I wonder if this is never used in flash because it’s an easy way of naming your variables.  
The principle is that you just add a 1, 2 or sometimes even 3 letters befor your name.  
eg.  
sString  
arrArray  
mcMovieClip  
etc.

Best Regards,
