200 Chapter 5: ActionScript Core Language Elements

In a FLA or AS file that is in the same directory as Login.as, enter the following ActionScript:

var gus:Login = new Login("Gus", "Smith");

trace(gus.username); // output: Gus

gus.username = "Rupert";

trace(gus.username); // output: Rupert

In the following example, the get function executes when the value is traced. The set function

triggers only when you pass it a value, as shown in the line:

gus.username = “Rupert”;
