RE: [CFCDev] Speaking of Structures

[Andy Powell]

What you're trying to use is called implicit getters and setters.  It is implemented in AS 2.0, but has not yet made its way to CF.  It's a nifty way to implement data hiding as well as add some functionality behind your getters and setters.   When implemented it looks just like you're setting and getting a property of the object.

HTH,

>Daniel, I think Ben is trying to achieve the functionality you describe, but using dot notation.  He wants someobject.foo = "test" to acually execute someobject.setFoo('test").

>Ben:  why do you need this?  Is there a sufficiently compelling reason to avoid the widely used and familiar setter method approach
