Hi, yep that was the article, but the original poster asked a subtly different question (unless I'm mistaken). allandt asked about implicit vs explicit getters setters.
Darron talks about using public variables vs implicit no brain getters setters. First time I read that article I thought he was talking about implicit vs explicit, to which my conclusion was: this article sucks. Rereading it and seeing its about public variables vs implicit, it's a nice read ;). But another discussion:). greetz JC On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 3:42 PM, Merrill, Jason < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I tend to send this link on whenever this debate comes up, good article on > public vars vs. getters and setters from a well respected Actionscript > coder. > > http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/2005/03/no-brain-getter-and-setters.cfm > > And I also agree with Steve, Ian, the others, I used to be against public > vars, but now I see when they don't need to have a "brain" i.e logic is run > when they are called, and it's ok to allow them as a pair (i.e. both get and > set), then there is no reason to not use public vars since from an interface > perspective, they are exactly the same.
