Unfortunately, the Inspectable metatag only works for mxml. Here's a more
reuseable solution so you can use the same strings when coding in AS3 too. It
also will do compile time checking on your selection in either case.
MAIN APPLICATION...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationComplete="init()" xmlns:trans="*">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function init():void{
var tr:tranny = new tranny();
tr.gear = tranny.FIRST;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<trans:tranny gear="{tranny.FIRST}"/>
</mx:Application>
TRANNY COMPONENT/CLASS
package
{
public class tranny{
private var _gear:String;
public function tranny(){
super();
}
// these const's must match the Inspectable enumeration
public static const FIRST:String = "first";
public static const SECOND:String = "second";
public static const THIRD:String = "third";
[Inspectable(category="Tranny",
enumeration="{tranny.FIRST},{tranny.SECOND},{tranny.THIRD}")]
public function set gear(gr:String):void{
_gear = gr;
}
public function get gear():String{
return _gear;
}
}
}
