Yes! Spot on! Accessors (of the get or set variety) are problematic in that
they tempt lazy encapsulation.

You want to be able to parse an XML document (on the local drive, or at a

1 - FWIW - shortcuts & alisaes are NOT text files.
2 - you can't do it without writing a file to the user's computer,
with or without an Xtra.

If so, what is the supported way?

Dear all,
This is something i've been wondering about a long time ago, and have
forgotten ever since:
As far as i can see, there is absulutely NO difference between swa
and mp3, and one can even rename one into the other with no great
consequence. am i wrong, or are these two indeed the same
Sorry I mmay not be able to help much.
But Im pretty sure that swa is the only compresed audio format that uses
tru cue points...
Yhowever u can simulate cuepoints for mp3s
You will have to convert the times length into seconds and assign
variables at each particaulr cue oint...

Hey all
I'm trying to fool with the xml parser and I just can't believe what kind

does anyone have any links/pages/ideas on taking an xml and flipping to a

Maybe the problem is a conceptual one. The 'idea' of an accessor method ties
you into the 'idea' that "here is my data -- do with it what you will".

Absolute concurrence here - I suppose the main requirement of the
accessor methods is to supply/set the data required in such a way that
the object can be perceived as a "black box". ie you should be able to

OK,
it seems we coming to an agreement that to enable meaningful
encapsulation there must be the ability to perform data exchange
between an object and the external environment, that may include other
objects. in order to exchange data you can:
1 - directly manipulate the data
2 - make the data
