Maurice Amsellem commented on FLEX-24623:
-----------------------------------------
Ok.
However, after thinking about it again, since it's mx_internal, we cannot
guarantee that a third party code does not call it and if you change to
protected, that would break this code.
As a general rule, you can only increase the accessiblity of a variable, not
decrease it.
Accessibility order is the following :
private < protected < internal < {custom_namespace, such as mx_internal} <
public.
> Remove private declarations in PopUpAnchor

> I'm trying to entend PopUpAnchor to add the ability to create modal popups
> with it (see https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-27136).
> Due to the plethora of private methods and variables I am unable to do this,
> and have had to duplicate the entire class (which is still very common when
> trying to extend or change the functionality of Adobes components).
