Re: [flexcoders] Public getter, private setter?

Matt, what has made Adobe depart from what is standard behaviour in other languages. I'm having trouble understanding any reason for this than perhaps an implementation issue (ie, we would have preferred to support independent visibility but we preferred to get it out the door without delay, since this is a relatively minor issue).

Its intentional right now that a getter/setter pair must have a matching visibility modifier. You cant change whether a variable is visible to the compiler based on whether its being read or being written. While we understand the use-case (and debated it internally ourselves) this is the approach were taking right now.

Hi,

Ironically, I just ran into this same issue the other day.

I had a post I didn't finish yesterday and what you just wrote about Java style was what I was going to say I did. :)

This is just a guess but, I would be willing to bet this is a Player bug.

If you think about the error, it is the same error you would get if you had

public function get height():Number

and

public var height:Number;

... ambiguous

So, I would bet this will be working, right around the time they make private constructors. ;-)

Peace, Mike

private var _loadedState:int = ConfigModelLocator.LOAD_STATE_UNLOADED;

[Bindable(event="loadStateChanged")]
public function get loadState():int
{
return _loadedState;
}
private function set loadState(state:int):void
{
_loadedState = state;
this.dispatchEvent(new Event("loadStateChanged"));
}

Just wondering why I can't declare a property getter as public, and
the property setter as protected or private?

When I do so, I get "1000 Ambiguous reference to loadState"

Any work-arounds? I want to have the setter so that I can raise the
property change event when I set the state, but I'd rather not make it
public.

thanks.

see code:

private var _loadedState:int = ConfigModelLocator.LOAD_STATE_UNLOADED;

[Bindable(event="loadStateChanged")]
public function get loadState():int
{
return _loadedState;
}
private function set loadState(state:int):void
{
_loadedState = state;
this.dispatchEvent(new Event("loadStateChanged"));
}
