Hi, I've been struggling for hours - but I can't seem to get anywhere! Either I'm missing something simple, or it can't be done. Lets hope it's something simple:)

I have an overloaded object that can perform basic arithmetic: 

$one=new Array_Like_Object(1); #set all elements to one<br>
$two=new Array_Like_Object(2); #set all elements to two

$three = $one + $two;

[download]

To set and read elements from this object I have a few simple methods: 

$three->Read(14); #return element 14
$three->Write(14,3); #set element 14 to 3

[download]

I had assumed that in conjunction with tie, I could do something like: 

$three(14); #return element 14
$three(14)=3; #set element 14 to 3

[download]

but I can't seem to get it to work. Would this kind of syntax be possible using a tied array?

Thanks.
