[osflash] Problems with multi-level inheritance and super setters in MTASC

[Simen Brekken]

I've encountered a problem where I cannot get the super statement to behave
correctly, it works as intended in the Flash IDE but not when compiling via
MTASC, take the following example:

class A {
  public function set items(list:Array):Void {
    trace("A.items = " + list);
  }
}

class B extends A {
}

class C extends B {
  public function set items(list:Array):Void {
    super.items = list;

    trace("C.items = " + list);
  } 
}


This compiles and works in the Flash IDE, however in MTASC the super is not
working retroactively to finally trigger the A.items setter.

I've (for now) solved the problem by introducing a dumb setter in B:

class B extends A {
  public function set items(list:Array):Void {
    super.items = list;
  }
}

When this work around is introduced it works as intended in MTASC as well.
Am I right thinking this is a bug in MTASC's way of handling super?
