Description

Reproduction:
1. Debug any Flex app, and stop somewhere, e.g. inside a Button click handler
2. In variables view, expand "this"
3. Scroll to the bottom so you can see "x" and "y"

Actual Results:
"x" and "y" have an icon showing a small yellow box with a "+" through it, indicating that their scope is "internal".

Expected Results:
They should have a green circle, indicating that they are public. The same is true for many of the other variables.

This seems to have to do with the fact that although x and y are defined as public by class Sprite, they are also defined in the interface IFlexDisplayObject, like this:

function get x():Number;
function get y():Number;

Functions in an interface are implicitly always public. However, I can see in the debugging information which is coming back that the debugger seems to think these are internal to IFlexDisplayObject.
