I still don't have an answer, but I think I have a pretty clean work-around. Since the setter would be private, and called only within the class, I've gone to a private function in Java style eg.
private function setLoadState(state:int):void Notice it is not a property setter, but just a function that sets the property! =) Not the ideal solution for sure, but reasonable considering its use is limited to just that class.

What is the reason for not being able to have a public getter and a private setter? I Tried to raise this question here: http://actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=113383 , but we hardly got anywhere useful. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
