Since I'm digging into components more I have been writing a lot more getters/setters than I used to, which I don't like, because they are just boring. Luckily, I found a TextMate command by Jason Froderman that will automatically create getter/setter pairs from a class property you have selected. Yeah!

note: it wont work if you already have a value assigned to the property:

Actionscript:
  1. private var a:Number

works

Actionscript:
  1. private var a:Number =10

no workie.
