First of all, thanks for reading this post.

Now I just get to the point.

I've got a function named: SetPosByOrigCenter().

That means: Set Position By Original Center Point

Then I've got this: SetPosByOrigCenterOnEvent(e:Event)

public function SetPosByOrigCenterOnEvent(e:Event) {
     SetPosByOrigCenter();
}

That means: Set Position By Original Center Point On Event

Yeah, their name are really long, right?

Like 18-25 characters.

So I'm just asking if you guys would mind finding a new name for these functions

Please, thanks!

Honestly, I am with viper. Way back in the day, I use to try and shorten C routine names, but over the years, I have found that long function names are not bad. I have found that when you try and shorten names you end up cutting corners. For me at least, well named functions (no matter how long) make old code a lot clearer to read and easier to debug.

I think long function names are generally a good thing as they are more descriptive. As long as you have some sort of autocomplete, you shouldn't have to type it all out, and most nowadays support just typing the initials (SPBOCP). If you are looking to reduce the length of the names, think about what information is implied by the function parameters and return type.

If I have a function

public List<Friend> GetListOfFriendsByID (int id)
{
    //Return new list with my friends
}

I can see that it clearly returns a List and I can clearly see that I am passing in an id. I can now shorten the name to

public List<Friend> GetFriends (int id)

Clearly you are getting data. It should really just be public List<Friend> Friends(int id);

Keep it. It's useful for looking over code.

Here's the explanations:

What the function SetPosByOrigCenter() does is: set the position by setting it to the x (and y) of the original center point minus half of the width (and height) of the object (the object here is a button)

public function SetPosByOrigCenter():void {
     //this: the button
     this.x = origCenterPoint().x - this.width / 2;
     this.y = OrigCenterPoint().y - this.height / 2;
}

What the function SetPosByOrigCenterOnEvent() does:

public function SetPosByOrigCenterOnEvent(e:Event):void {
	//e:Event is a must for event function in AS3
	SetPosByOrigCenter();
} 

The function SetPosByOrigCenterOnEvent() is called every time the button is transformed in size like these buttons in Frantic Frigates:

public function Button(...) {

    ...

    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, TransformSizePOnEvent);
    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, SetPosByOrigCenterOnEvent);
            
    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, ResetSizeOnEvent);
    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, SetPosByOrigCenterOnEvent);
            
    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ResetSizeOnEvent);
    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SetPosByOrigCenterOnEvent);

    ...
}

Maybe, I just rename it ResetPosition() or let it remain unchanged
