Autowiring of Properties (Not objects)

[rfkrocktk]

Is there currently a way to autowire properties rather than objects? Eg:
applicationContext.xml

<property file="context.properties"/>

context.properties

myProperty = 12345

SomeClass.as

[Autowired(propertyName="myProperty")]
public var myStringProperty:String;

Is there an equivalent of this in Spring Actionscript that I'm unaware of? It'd sure be nice to inject String variables this way

Is there even a way to do this without autowiring? I need to externalize a few properties (like locations of images for example), so how should I do this? If I try creating these values as literal String typed objects in my application context, and try to autowire these, nothing happens, my properties are not set in my class. Eg:

<!-- applicationContext.xml -->
<object id="myProperty" class="String">
    <constructor-arg value="my proeprtyasdfawefasdf"/>
</object>

<!-- application.mxml -->
<fx:Declarations>
   <!-- shortened for brevity's sake :) -->
   <ioc:FlexXMLApplicationContext id="applicationContext"/>
</fx:Declarations>

<fx:Script>
  ...
  [Autowired(name="myProperty")]
  public function set myProperty(value:String):void {
      throw new Error("it works!");
  }
  ...
</fx:Script>

Running the code snippet above will result in no error being thrown (an error should be thrown when the myProperty property is set.)
