does anyone know why getter methods are invoked twice when called using bracket notation? i've created a simple mxml test and observed the following: - when the button "Test Dot Notation" is clicked there are two popups; one which says "Returned object: hello" and another that says "This should show once. (count: x)" - when the button "Test Bracket Notation" is clicked there are _three_ popups; one which says "Returned object: hello", another that says "This should show once. (count: x)", and the third which says "This should show once. (count: x+1)".
i would expect the "Bracket Notation" button to produce just two popups, similar to what the "Dot Notation" button does. thanks, marty ----- start mxml ----- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Script> var counter:Number = 0; function testDotNotation() { mx.controls.Alert.show("Returned object: " + this.hello ); } function testBracketNotation() { mx.controls.Alert.show("Returned object: " + this ["hello"] ); } function get hello():String { mx.controls.Alert.show("This should show once.
