Naming custom components

Component names have an uppercase first letter, and any concatenated words are written in mixed case. For example, the following default user-interface component set uses concatenated words and mixed case:

Components that do not use concatenated words begin with an uppercase letter.

If you develop custom components, use a naming convention to prevent naming incompatibilities with Adobe components. The names of your components must be different from those of the default set that is included with Flash. If you adopt your own consistent naming convention, it helps you prevent naming conflicts.

Remember that the naming conventions in this section are guidelines. It is most important to use a naming scheme that works well for you and to use it consistently.
