Description

Keyword; permits implicit "getting" of properties associated with objects based on classes you have defined in external class files. Using implicit get methods lets you access properties of objects without accessing them directly. Implicit get/set methods are syntactic shorthand for the Object.addProperty() method in ActionScript 1.

For more information, see Implicit get/set methods.
