Just thought of another use for properties: component parameters.
With properties you can do something like this:
[Inspectable]
public function get percent():Number {
return _percent;
}
public function set percent(value:Number):Void {
_percent = normalizePercentage(value);
}
private var _percent:Number = 0;
private static function normalizePercentage(value:Number):Number {
if (!isFinite(value)) {
return 0;
}
if (value > 100) {
return 100;
}
return Math.floor(value);
}
//...
This code will create a property called "percent" which can be set by
a component parameter and will never evaluate to anything but an
integer from 0 to 100. If you were using getPercent() and
setPercent(), you couldn't have the inspectable component parameter.
