Defining the class for a collection item

You code the properties for a collection item in a separate ActionScript class, which you define as follows:

• Define the class such that it does not extend UIObject or UIComponent.
• Define all properties using the Inspectable tag.
• Define all properties as variables. Do not use get and set (getter/setter) methods.

The following is a simple example of a collection item class file called CompactDisc.as.

class CompactDisc{
   [Inspectable(type="String", defaultValue="Title")]
   var title:String;
   [Inspectable(type="String", defaultValue="Artist")]   
   var artist:String; 
}

To view the CompactDisc.as class file, see Simple collection example.
