Please read, love, and adopt my sublime ‘Rivello Multimedia Consulting ActionScript 3.0 & MXML Coding Standards (v1.1)’

Instead of updating the PDF above, I now customize my standards per client needs and deliver them directly. Since the PDF above I have tweaked a few things and generally offer something closer to the template below.

If you have any comments (good or bad) please leave comments below this post.

Updated TemplateClass.as Sample
