Indirect Interface ExternalObject Creation

Wondering if anyone has information regarding how to set instance data within an indirect interface (class) built in an externalobject?
I'm following the samples provided from the ESTK SDK, but they don't give any information on how to set instance data from the constructor.
Calling from extendscript, everything "works", but the value returned for "dllpath" isn't what I set it to.
Instead, it comes out as "dllpath".
Not really sure where to go from here.
I've attached my .cpp file I'm working with, and this is the extendscript function I'm using;
```
function initExtension() {
// Initial alert to indicate function entry
alert("Entering initExtension function");
try {
// Log to check if we reach this point
alert("About to initialize ExternalObject");
// Initialize ExternalObject
var helloWorldDll = new ExternalObject("lib:" + "LIB_PATH");
// Log to indicate successful initialization
alert("initialized DLL");
var AE = new AEImage("DLL_PATH");
alert("Initialized Class");
AE.dllpath = "Some Value here";
var path = AE.dllpath;
alert(path);
helloWorldDll.unload();
} catch (e) {
// Log the exception
alert("Caught an exception: " + e.toString());
// Return a string indicating failure
return "Initialization failed";
}
}
```
```
