But I have some old code that I'm working with that leaves a lot of things in strings.

That is very good to know, I'll have to look into it more. I also had a brief look at eka's article and I'll need to do some more looking into this. > > This means that it doesnt care about any getters / setters and you have to be > extra careful if you do anything in the constructor or are expecting > parameters > to your constructor. Yes again, I'll need to experiment to see exactly what's happening. If it is populating the object before the constructor is run, then perhaps I can use the constructor to do the type conversion if I do decide to do the conversion in Flash and not on the server.
