try this (see class A below)

var a:A = new A();
a.test()

Expected result: No run time error

Actual result:
ReferenceError: Error #1074: Illegal write to read-only property hello on A.

package
{
public class A
{
private var _hello:String;
public function A()
{
}

public function get hello():String

{ return _hello; }

private function set hello(value:String):void

{ _hello = value; // do something }

public function test():void

{ this.hello = "bye"; }

}
}

BTW, changing test() to do hello = "bye" works fine.
