Re: [Flashcoders] Coding Standards: Use of Get/Set

2007-02-13 Thread Muzak
I use implicit getter/setters all the time when it involves a single property of an object: width, height, visible, etc.. I use explicit getter/setters when one or more parameters are required: getItemAt(index), setSize(w, h) Implict getter/setters are also invoked before the constructor, which

2007-02-13 Thread Steven Sacks | BLITZ
You should absolutely feel comfortable and fine using prototype to add functions to the String native object if you want. I say if it works, use it. Just because they skimped on String and Array methods that MOST other languages have doesn't mean you should have to write a bunch of extra code to

Re: [Flashcoders] Coding Standards: Use of Get/Set

One of the few reasons to use explicit getters/setters in AS2 is as part of an interface. AS2 does not allow implicit property getters and setters in interfaces. // Will not work in AS2: interface Ratio { function get percent():Number; } // Will work in AS2: interface Ratio { function

I thought I saw this discussed recently, but I couldn't find it in the archives. Apologies if I'm repeating something. Has anyone ever had a situation using MovieClipLoader where, when loading a SWF, the onLoadComplete handler gets called but the onLoadInit handler does? I've verified that the

You always compare implicit getter/settter with explicit getter/setter. Just a thought of mine is to compare implicit getter/setter with public variables. When you use someClass, that was written by someone else, you do not know if the following code uses implicit getter/setter or is just a
