Adobe Flex coding standard

Adobe Flex coding standard

A good starting point for standards can be from Adobe themselves, who have come up with a nice document detailing basic Flex coding conventions and best practices. See for yourself!

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Coding+Conventions

This document lays out the coding standards for writing open-source Flex framework components in ActionScript 3. Adhering to these standards makes the source code look consistent, well-organized, and professional.

Some of these standards are completely arbitrary, since there is not always a “best way” to code. Nevertheless, in the interest of consistency, all commits to the Flex SDK project will be expected to follow these convention
