Did you make any progress on this? - Gordon

I would expect that the Scope that contains the def for the backing variable also contains the getter/setter refs, as three definitions in a DefinitionSet for that definition name. Are you saying that the DefinitionSet has only one item? If so, you're going to have to read the ABC parsing code and figure out what is happening to the getter/setter. - Gordon On 9/26/13 2:18 PM, "Alex Harui" <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: >I'm trying to build a simpler test case so I can follow what's going on. >I've seen that the SyntheticBindableSetterDefinition gets created by >some analyzer run by the MXML and AS CompilationUnits.
