In that case, the bindable("someEvent') tells the binding code which
event to listen for before updating anything depending on that property.In theory, you could have setters that don't dispatch an event and then have a timer dispatch the event much later. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Troy Gilbert Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Bindable metadata too smart for its own good! > Ah, so if specify the event name, then "bindable" truly is just > metadata, no code-generation, right? That sounds like the info I was > looking for... Which leads me to think, what exactly is bindable doing for me at that point? If I'm firing the event (and thus creating it), is the metadata just helping the compiler issue a warning about bindings not firing for given properties? Is there anything else I'm getting? Do I get code-complete on the bindable event or anything like that (like I'd get if I added an Event metadata)? Troy.
