Thanks to everyone who replied to this. Since I think my biggest
problem is understanding the translation of the MXML tag, the way to
go for me is to look at the MXML documentation and to read the
generated code (thanks - I'd forgetten about that).
My overall comment is that the documentation is
Thanks very much for your time in writing this; it's very helpful. But
my question still stands: if there are parts of your answer that I
don't understand fully, or that raise more questions in my mind (and
both of these are in fact the case), how do I resolve these
difficulties? How did you

Honestly, fucked if I know how I picked all this stuff up - it's just what I
do. But if my explanation left something out, that's my fault for giving a
shitty explanation. Tell me in detail what you're still confused about, and
I'll try and explain it :)

Heh :)
I don't think there was anything at all wrong with your response mate,
although the generated directory can be a scary place, there's a *lot* of
actionscript classes that go into making a Flex swf do its thing.
I do apologise if I come off as a jerk, but I can't apologise for the

about it so I can add to it, and hopefully do a better job next time.

Where *is* the authoritative story on binding? As a newcomer to Flex
I'm finding it hard to form a coherent picture of how the various
binding features fit together. What's the mechanism, for example,
that allows me to call addEventListener on a Bindable property? If
there's no formal
The authoritive story is pretty much as Daniel said:
[Bindable]
public var myField:String;
The above will generate something the equivalent of:
mx_internal var _myField:String; //Might be private, can't be arsed to check
[Bindable event=propertyChangeEvent]
public function get myField():String
The only difference in what you're doing in the two examples is declaring a
custom event in the second example. As Doug said, you can place the Binding
metadata tag over the getter or the setter, it makes no difference. If you
don't declare a custom event, an extra set of functions will be wrapped
Any thoughts?
In an DataModel class what is the best way to bind data.
1) Make the Setter Bindable, or
2) Make the Getter Bindable and dispatch an event on the Setter?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
// Binding #1
[Bindable]
public function set foo(val:String):void{
I do 2) all the time. Didn't know 1) was even an option.

If you define a getter and a setter you can add the [Bindable] metadata to
either the getter or setter, it does the same thing either way. The only
time you have to use a custom event to trigger the binding is when you have
read-only properties (a getter but no setter).
