Me, too (well, single underscore), but we were talking about setting
properties, not variables. You might want to set a property in a field
because it has some kind of verification or formatting functionality.
For example:
class mypackage.MyClass {
/**
* Class constructor.
*
* @param name Name for this instance.
* @see #name
*/
public function MyClass(name:String) {
this.name = name;
}
/**
* An upper-case string which is the name for this instance.
*
* <p>Values are automatically converted to upper-case. May be
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] null}.</p>
*/
public function get name():String {
return _name;
}
public function set name(value:String):Void {
if (value instanceof String) {
_name = value.toUpperCase();
} else {
_name = null;
}
}
private var _name:String = null;
}
