Applescript property setter not working correctly -- howto?

Question

I have a <property> in my Cocoa project's sdef file, and I can get my Applescripts to read the property correctly, but I can't get them to set it (I get an error in the Applescript Editor).

My sdef is pasted below. Is there a special convention for the property? I would have thought it'd just be - (void) setLength:(NSNumber *)len;. Is it not?

`

<xi:include href="file:///System/Library/ScriptingDefinitions/CocoaStandard.sdef"
   xpointer="xpointer(/dictionary/suite)"/>


<suite name="Timer Scripting" code="StTs"
    description="Commands and classes for Timer">

 <command name="createtimer" code="sttscret" description="Create a new timer">
 </command>

 <class name="application" code="smgT"
     description="Timer application">

  <cocoa class="NSApplication"/>

  <property name="length"
      code="tlen"
      type="integer"
      access="rw"
      description="length of timer in seconds"/>

  <responds-to name="createtimer">
   <cocoa method="createTimer:"/>
  </responds-to>
 </class>
</suite>

`

Thanks!

Maybe it's a problem with release/retain?

What happens if you just use @synthesize length; instead of a customer setter?
