RE: OOP - conventions, not urgent

[kevin dowd]

Hello,

Is having this kind of set up in your Object O.K.



on settheProp me, theProp, theVal
   me[theProp] = theVal
end

on broadcastProp me, theProp
   return me[theProp]
end

settheProp #newProp, 42 -- creates and assigns a new property with the instance


settheProp #existingProp, 42 -- assigns to an existing prop or creats 
a new one if it's not there.





The above means you don't have to write a method (to get/set) a for 
each individual prop in your object. Just a space saver really. 
Obviously you'd do checks on the param variables before you really 
used it.
