How To Create Bindable Properties (using Getters and Setters Methods) in Flex
Andrei Ionescu | 26.06.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments

Let’s say you created a new component and you want to add some properties that need to be bindable. Something like this:

<flexer:myComp width="400" height="200" myNewSetter="{_myData}" />
<mx:Script>
[Bindable]
