Is it possible in actionscript to get and set an object’s property  
eg I have an object called arenaWorld and I wish to get and set just one property  
to get and set an object’s property the singer’s song.  
public function get arenaWorld.singer.song():String

```auto
 
{
 return arenaWorld.singer.song();
}

```

Unfortunately this doesn’t compile.
