I actually don't know whether
public function get foo():int
{
return _foo;
}
or
public function getFoo():int
{
return _foo;
}
is faster to call. But I wouldn't expect them to different greatly, and
which one is faster might change in a future version of the Flash Player
as the AVM gets optimized.
So the Flex SDK team designs our APIs with other considerations in mind.
We consider property-based APIs -- rather than method-based ones -- to
be best practice because properties can be expressed declaratively as
MXML tag attributes, and set in property inspectors in authoring tools,
while method calls require ActionScript code.

Subject: [flexcoders] Getters/Setters VS Function:Void/Return
Hey all,
I took a quick search, but was unable to find info on rather
getter/setters are faster, or functions that return are faster. Care to
enlighten me?
