addImage method signature

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am wondering why the method signature of addImage is the way it is.
Because there is no method overloading in actionscript, I always feel the
most used parameters should go first.  In the case of addImage, I would
think that the parameters related to positioning and size are more often
changed than blend mode, etc..  Unfortunately, currently to change the
position and size one has to set almost all the other parameters.  Would it
be better to change the method argument order to this:

public function addImage ( pDisplayObject:DisplayObject, pX:Number=0,
pY:Number=0, pWidth:Number=0, pHeight:Number=0, pLink:String='', 
pAlpha:Number=1, pBlend:String="Normal", pMatrix:Matrix=null,
pResizePage:Boolean=false, pEncoding:String="JPG", pQuality:Number=100 ):void

this would allow for the following simplicity in adding an image:

myPDF.addImage(logo,100,400,100,100);

or if you don't need to scale...

myPDF.addImage(logo,100,400);

Just food for thought.  I don't know how other's feel.

hi kevin,

yes that is true, I will move all the extra parameters like matrix, blend modes,
encoding etc at the end.

easier and looks better ;)

nice idea,

thanks ;)
