Its just for AsDoc. By default, the ASDoc tool generates output for all public and protected elements in an ActionScript class, even if you omit the ASDoc comment. To make ASDoc ignore an element, insert an ASDoc comment that contains the @private tag anywhere in the comment. The ASDoc comment can contain additional text along with the@private tag, which is also excluded from the output.
It allows comments to be included that shouldn't be exposed to any documentation.
