Using packages for code organization - Flex best practices

Flex best practices – Part 1: Setting up your Flex project | Adobe Developer Connection

Follow the best practices below on using packages for code organization:

Use packages to organize and structure your projects codebase.

Packages are the standard for OOP-based applications. Packages represent logical groupings of related ActionScript and MXML files in the form of classes. The use of packages and classes is fundamental to object-oriented programming.

To continue with community standards, use the following practices for naming your packages:

Use lowerCamelCase.

For example: com.seantheflexguy.stringUtils

Begin the package name with the top-level domain (TLD) of the application's owner:

for example, com, net, us;

then use the application owner's name:

for example: seantheflexguy, adobe;

then the project name:

for example: burrow;

then the logical grouping of related code files:

for example: utils, components, or whatever is appropriate.

Here's an example of a package name using this convention:

com.seantheflexguy.burrow.view
