Struggling with Flex Error 1000: Ambiguous Reference to…

I recently faced a Flex Error 1000: Ambiguous Reference to that puzzled me, I thought I’d share what was the issue and how to workaround it.

This error was raised by the compiler when I attempted to use a property for which I had defined a public getter together with a protected setter.

Using public::myProperty or protected::myProperty fixed the problem!
