Problems with getter/setter functions

[burtonrider1983]

I have a private variable within my class and I have public getter and setter functions to add this variable as a property of the instances of the class.
I have followed every piece of documentation I have found on the issue, but I keep getting multiple errors.
This is really getting a bit frusterating. I am sure it is something simplistic that I am overlooking, but I just can't see it.

I declare the variable inside of the class...
private var regClicked:Boolean;

I have the getter/setter functions....
public function set regClicked(newMode:boolean=true):void{
regClicked = newMode;
}

public function get regClicked():boolean{
return regClicked;
}

I get these errors....

The get/set function names and the private var name have to be different. Change the private var to (e.g.) _regClicked (and refer to it as such in the methods).
