Wow I didn't know that about FD. Gonna have to start using it. I still find myself wanting to use Flex Dev but that's another thread.
It's nice to see discussions like this. I feel like some things are foregone conclusions and that I'm late to the part but hey, even Grant Skinner is blogging about cuddling braces<http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2008/11/curly_braces_to.html>. For me, it depends on the complexity of the logic involved in calculating the return. If I'm dealing with a sensible property such as the left boundary for a group of display children, conditionals tend to read cleaner when I can just write: if(this.mouseX > grid.left) rather than if(this.mouseX > grid.getLeft()). If the property requires more complex code in order to return a value such as looping over an array, I use getVal(). getters and setters also have certain syntax requirements so I also avoid using them whenever I need to do something slightly different such as use multiple parameters.
