Overriding x, y, width and height (getters)

Is there a way to override the width (for a getter) on a Sprite?

I see examples of how to override the setter but not the getter

I need to do something like

override public function get width():Number {
  if (onecase) {
     return this width;
  } else {
    return another width;
  }
}

the setter/getter method signatures need to be identical since ActionScript 3.0 doesn't support function overloading. the x, y, width and height properties of display objects are Number objects, not int as one might assume.

//Class Properties
private var widthProperty:Number;

~

//Set Width
override public function set width(value:Number):void
{
     widthProperty = value;
}

//Get Width
override public function get width():Number
{
     return widthProperty;
}

Yes you can.

override public function get width():Number {
   if (onecase) {
      return myWidth;
   } else {
      return super.width;
   }
}

super.width is will be basic Sprite getter.
