As far as I know, the setter never auomatically calls the getter. It certainly shouldn't, since the getter could have some undesirable side-effect that you wouldn't want happening in the setter.

I'll go with getters first then :) Also, i'm sure I've read somewhere that internally when you access a setter, it's self-checks the getter and only executes the setter if the return of the getter is different from the getter... Have I made this up? I normally put these checks in myself anyway but I'm sure I've read it... I can't find the site though...

I remember Alex Harui saying Bindable can indeed go before the setter, too. See this page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/databinding_8.html#194574 Note #3: "Before a public, protected, or private property defined by a getter or setter method"
