I use Actionscript getters and setters. Because I can start off using ordinary public properties, and change them into getters and setters if I need more control/notification without changing any of the code that _uses_ my class. In order to achieve that otherwise, I'd have to make a getValue()

hi guys quick poll - Do you use the actionscript getter/setter functions or do you make your own, and why. I've noticed with a lot of the public domain code (like SWFAddress, for instance) that you see a lot of 'public function getVariable()' type getters instead of using the flash 'public

I think some ActionScript developers simply prefer the use of regular setVar() getVar() instance methods instead of the AS3 get set keywords because they know what's going on in their own code. I remember going to Colin Moock's AS3 1 day crash course last year in Toronto and he said that while

For clarity, they're referred to as implicit and explicit. get prop / set prop = implicit getProp() / setProp = explicit In AS2, it made a difference because implicits were available right away, whereas explicits were not available for 1 frame. This limitation is not present in AS3.

+1 :-) Use public methods when it's a method, public properties when it's a property. Simple as that.. explicit should only be used for internal things to work, usually called by an implicit setter: private var _data:Object; private function setData():void { // do stuff with _data }
