Is it possible to access as3 custom properties from javascript?

Question

I have the following property defined in my webcam as3 webcam class

public function get paused():Boolean
  {
  return (cam == null);
  }

public function set paused(p:Boolean):void
  {
  if(p){picture.draw(vid,flip);cam = null;}
  else cam = Camera.getCamera();
  vid.attachCamera(cam);
  }

Is it possible to access this from javascript? When I had it as a simple function it worked with:

ExternalInterface.addCallback("paused", paused);

But that wont compile after I changed it to properties.

"Error: Implicit coercion of a value of type Boolean to an unrelated type Function."

I'm an actionscript newbie so maybe there's something obvious I'm missing.

Answer 1

addCallback() only accepts a function, so you'll need to create meaningful functions that set and get the value without the use of the get and set keywords:

function getPaused():Boolean
{
    return paused;
}

function setPaused(value:Boolean):void
{
    paused = value;
}

ExternalInterface.addCallback("getPaused", getPaused);
ExternalInterface.addCallback("setPaused", setPaused);
