RE: [flexcoders] Re: BindSetter?
Just a note, we added several examples on bindSetter() to the docs for the 2.0.1 release.

String to Function coercion error BindSetter(_model.title()... ? Inaccessible method title error I thought about _model.title as Function - but that seems like it would interpret the title string as a function name ? So what is the right syntax for this? I also noticed the same problem with setters defined in the same AS file - I get a 'blah to Function coercion error' ?? TIA!
