Bob,
The point is to separate the model and view and automatically update
the view(s) when the model changes (perhaps in response to a server
call). Hence the binding. The bindable variable would be in a separate
ActionScript class. In the bug report, I just made it a local
variable for simplicity.
Feel free to vote for the bug, anyone.
