I prefer the former. Using get and set is so much nicer. Besides, I do a lot of Exe based flash work, and being able to execute functions using variable assignment style expressions is a lifesaver.

Do you prefer to use the inbuilt getter & setter functionality? i.e. public function get myProperty():Number{ return _myProperty; } public function set myProperty(intSet:Number):Void{ _myProperty = intSet; } or do you prefer using normal functions? i.e. public function getMyProperty():Number{ return _myProperty; } public function setMyProperty(intSet:Number):Void{ _myProperty = intSet; } I like the first method as it looks cleaner, but there have been issues with inheritance where if you overwrite either the getter or setter, but not both in the child class it gets ignored. What are your views?
