Technically, there is no problem in AS3 with writing a setter without a getter to implement a write-only property. But I consider write-only properties to be poor API design. Being able to set something -- but not ask later what it was you set -- is weird. If I need to know the value that I set, I shouldn't have to store it myself.

Could there be a case where someone wanted to have a write-only property? I agree that it is pretty uncommon, but I am wondering if it problematic from an architecture standpoint? - Kevin On Apr 22, 2008, at 8:37 PM, Gordon Smith wrote: (BTW, setters without getters are weird.)
