Description

Steps to reproduce:

In any Button subclass, try to override the mx_internal function viewIconForPhase to allow for setting custom properties on icons at runtime.

Actual Results: Can't override because everything is compatible with the override except for the "icons" property, since it is not inherited as a "private" property instead of "protected."

Expected Results: Would hope that the property was "protected" and not "private."

Workaround (if any): Lots of hacking to get around what could potentially be an easy override.
