[haXe] AS3 cannot handle properties?

[edA-qa mort-ora-y]

I believe AS3 functions the same way in that it uses the getters an
setters with the appropriate names.

I have some code which uses this and it behaves the same way in Haxe
compilation and the Flex compiler (so somehow it must be working, at
least for setters)
