[Flashcoders] using Array.sortOn with getter/setters

[Nils Millahn]

Hi,

I've been storing a few very simple Value Objects in an array and wanted 
to use Array.sortOn to sort them. However the value objects use 
getter/setters for member access - and the sorting simply didn't seem to 
take place.

I've now converted the ValueObjects to use public members instead of 
getter/setters - and everything is working nicely.

I don't see how this should make any difference to the way Flash 
accesses the values in the VO - does anybody have any idea?

Here's an example of the VO with getter/setters that I couldn't get 
Flash to sort:

class SimpleVO
{
   private var __year:Number;
   private var __clip:MovieClip;

   public function SimpleVO(n:Number, mc:MovieClip)
   {
      __year = n;
      __clip = mc;
   }

   // and normal set of getter/setters in here
   public function get year():Number
   {
      return __year;
   }
   // etc.
}

Thanks - Nils.
