Look into the [Inspectable] metadata tag.
If you place it before a class variable or property, then setting the
class under the component definition will automatically populate the
parameters.
class MyClass {
//...
[Inspectable(defaultValue="default")]
public var myVar:String;
[Inspectable]
public function get myProp():Number {
return _prop;
}
public function set myProp(value:Number):Void {
_prop = isFinite(value) ? Math.floor(value) : 0;
}
private var _prop:Number;
//...
}
There are other options: enumeration, different types, etc.

Hey all,
As per my earlier thread, I've been playing around with the
"Component Definition" dialog box in order to create a class which
extends MovieClip, where the class can be "passed parameters" (or,
set in the Parameters tab as the case may be). This seems to
implement what I want, but I'm puzzled about the behavior of the
"Component Definition" dialog box. What I do is:
-- Set "Linkage...":
AS 2.0 Class: MyPackage.myClass
-- Open "Component Definition..." and enter Parameters like:
Parameters:
Type sType typeA String
Degree nDegree 37.5 Number
-- Now, what puzzles me is the behavior of the "AS 2.0 Class" field
in this dialog box:
AS 2.0 Class: MyPackage.myClass(val)
-- this seems to work; the parameters are set correctly for the
instance.
Puzzlement 1: "val" can be *anything*, as long as it's
just one
word (e.g. it can't be "sType,nDegree") and the parameters are set
correctly!
AS 2.0 Class: MyPackage.myClass()
-- this gives me a syntax error
AS 2.0 Class: MyPackage.myClass
-- Puzzlement 2: this causes all the parameters to disappear
next
time the dialog box is open, and the parameters aren't set for the
instance!
Am I using this thing right? I can't make heads or tails of what's
going on!
Thanks,
--Dave
