Description

Earlier, a compiler change was made in response to https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-21547 that forces all [SkinPart] declarations to be public. The original request was only for private to be checked which is valid. I believe there is a valid reason to have your skin parts be protected so that you can hide visibility of those properties to the outside world. I can't see a reason why you would need these to be public since assignment and tracking of these parts is handled by the subclass, SkinnableComponent which would have visibility to those protected members.
