Getter Setter strange problem in interface

Question

hi folks I have a strange compiler error
package  {
  public interface IGet{
  function get someInt():int;
package  {
  public interface ISet {
  function set someInt(value:int):void;
package  {
  public interface ISomeInt extends IGet, ISet{
package {
  public class SomeInt implements ISomeInt {
  public function SomeInt () {
  public function set someInt (value:int):void {
  public function get someInt ():int {
  return 157;
package  {
  import flash.display.MovieClip;
  public class InitSomeInt extends MovieClip{
  public function InitSomeInt() {
  var so:ISomeInt = new SomeInt;
  so.someInt = 15;
compiler says: 1059: Property is read-only.
any solutions?
ction set someInt

Just to chime in...I'm not sure how familiar vakhtangi is with AS and don't want him to get discouraged by wrong information by someone with a lot of reputation points. Typing it to the interface is the correct thing to do and changing to the implementation type won't help (and of course also won't accomplish the purpose of using Interfaces in the first place).
I think what actually happens is that the IGet and ISet are defined separately, then combined in ISomeInt. When trying to set the value, the compiler sees them as separate and is picking up the IGet first (that's the order you specified in ISomeInt), which does specify someInt as a read-only property. This is strange behavior, but not illogical. It's probably an edge case that never occurred to Macromedia/Adobe.
