How to call setter Method of ActionScript class with in a Flex Application

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Hi

I have Action class as shown :

public class MyClass
{
private var name:String  
public function get name():String {
    return _initialCount;
}
public function set name(name:String):void {
    name = name;
}
}

Now please let me know how can i access this Action class under my Flex Application and call the setter Method of it to set the value for the name .
For example on entering some data in a TextInput and click of a submit Button , on to the Event Listener , i want to call the set name method of my ActionScript class .

Please share your ideas

Why are you using getter and setter methods? Normal practice would be to just just a property. And why does your getter return a different property? Binding will behave differently (in Flex3) when a method is bound rather than a property.

Sounds like you maybe need to go and read the documentation. It will be far quicker than waiting for answers from us.

Thank you Paul ,

Why are you using getter and setter methods?

Because i dont want User to enter any name as he wishes , for example
Inside the setter Method i want to have something like this

public function set name(name:String):void 
{
if(name.length < 5)
// Or i want to throw an Exception  here 
 }

2 .And why does your getter return a different property?

It was a Mistake , as i copy pasted the code .
It is actually

public function get name():String {
    return name;
}

Waiting for your replies .
Thanks .
