I have a public custom property with a public assign method.

Property = "alias"
Method = "alias_access()"

in code I issue this:

IF EMPTY( this.alias )

I expect the access method to fire, but it doesn't. Indeed it had, at one point, but I don't know what I've broken.

I've tried assigning the property to a value, also, with no success.

Thanks for any thoughts or trout you can pass my way. :)
