In Flash develop 2 there was a useful plugin for automatically generating getters and setters.
Now in Flash develop 3 beta 6, the feature is now inbuilt along with a whole lot more features… http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=Features:Generation
The shift+ctrl+1 combination feels a little cramped for a shortcut that I would use a lot, but if it bothers me enough I’ll go change it in the settings.xml file.
One of the generation that impressed me is that it generated the onButtonRelease a function from the line button_mc.onRelease = Delegate.create(this,onButtonRelease); (I was writing as2)
