Here is a couple snapshots of the work I'm doing for my Thesis project. It's basically a data visualization system accessible by any flash-equipped browser. For the 3D i'm using a slightly modified version of Papervision.

My Naming Conventions

Here are the naming conventions I currently use in my projects. I keep questioning myself about them from time to time. Usually I end up changing some point but I'm forcing myself not to do it anymore. Conventions should be a way of reducing developement cost. If you keep changing them you are actually turning them into a money pit. I learned that the most important thing with a naming convention is to stick with it, whatever its definition is. C# Microsoft guidelines for everything public. Private variables: prefix them with my ie myVariableName. I use this style for both normal variables and winForms controls. ActionScript Packages, and class members are camelCase. Class names are PascalCase. Private variables: prefix them with _ ie _variableName but I plan to switch this to the same convention I use for C#. That's because prefixing vars with an underscore results in a too low-levelish code for my tastes, and because underscore-prefixed vars as Flex control ids look weird
