Access the function object (closure) of a setter - apache-flex

Question

Assume I have the following class:
class Example
{
function set something(value:String):void
{
trace("set something");
}
function doSomething():void
{
trace("something");
}
}
I can access the functions as objects like this:
var example:Example = new Example();
var asdf:Function = example.doSomething;
// this also works - example["doSomething"];
asdf(); // this trace: "something"
You do this all the time with events, for example. So, my big question is: Is there any way to get a handle on the setter? Is there some crazy function on Object or somewhere that I don't know about (please say yes :)
I want something like the following
var example:Example = new Example();
// the following won't work, because example.something is a string
var asdf:Function = example.something;
asdf("a value"); // this trace: "something"

Answer 1

The statement var asdf:Function = example.something; won't work because compiler treats example.something as a getter and returns string (or throws a write-only error if the getter is not implemented).
But since something is a property, you can do something like:
example["something"] = "a value"; //will trace 'set something'
//or
var property:String = "something";
example[property] = "some value"; //will trace 'set something'

Answer 2

You may try this:
class Example{
function set something(value:String):void{
trace("set something");
}
function doSomething():void{
trace("something");
}
}
class AnotherClass{
function callOtherClassFunction(funcObj:Obj):void{
if (funcObj.type == "method") {
funcObj.func.apply();
}
else if (funcObj.type == "setter") {
funcObj.obj[funcObj.func] = "something";
}
else if (funcObj.type == "getter") {
trace(funcObj.obj[funcObj.func]);
}
}
}
class Test{
function Test():void{
var e:Example = new Example();
var a:AnotherClass = new AnotherClass();
a.callOtherClassFunction({obj:e, type:"setter", func:"something"});
a.callOtherClassFunction({obj:e, type:"method", func:e.doSomething});
}
}
