Note: To use this keyword, you must specify ActionScript 2.0 and Flash Player 6 or later in the Flash
tab of your FLA file’s Publish Settings dialog box. This keyword is supported only when used in
external script files, not in scripts written in the Actions panel.
Parameters
property
The word you want to use to refer to the property that get accesses; this value must
be the same as the value used in the corresponding
set command.
Returns
The value of the property specified by propertyName.
Description
Keyword; permits implicit “getting” of properties associated with objects based on classes you
have defined in external class files. Using implicit get methods lets you access properties of objects
without accessing them directly. Implicit get/set methods are syntactic shorthand for the
Object.addProperty() method in ActionScript 1.
For more information, see “Implicit get/set methods” on page 172.
