It was changed around 4.10 [1] . The change to public enabled a common
method between the listbase components and the grid/datagrid components. This
change supported a new interface that implements a simple navigation that can
be commonly used between those components [2].
No mx_internal is required for that method now to override it. It should work
like this now...
override public function setSelectedIndex(rowIndex:int,
dispatchChangeEvent:Boolean = false, changeCaret:Boolean = true):void
{
super. setSelectedIndex (rowIndex, dispatchChangeEvent, changeCaret);
}
