RE: [flexcoders] complex Remote Objects

[Peter Farland]

Yep - Matt's diagnosis is correct. Your OgoPhoneVO constructor might look something like this to make sure it doesn't override the initial states of the deserialized result objects:       public function OgoPhoneVO()     {         if (info === undefined)         {             info = "";             number = "";             telephoneId = null;             type = "";         }     }   This is necessary for any VO that is expected to be populated from native Flash Player object deserialization, e.g. instances of registered classes from RemoteObject that are encoded using AMF.   It's unfortunately that an example of this is not in the Flex 1.5 documentation - the topic will be improved in Flex 2.0.   Note: While it's taken me a while to come around on this issue, I personally don't believe this functionality "sucks"... it is a deliberately designed function of the Flash Player's native object deserialization (be it from LSOs, AMF, RTMP). It allows you to get access to the remote variables during object initialization (as you can't send constructor arguments via AMF).   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Chotin Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 9:12 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] complex Remote Objects Hi Christophe,   I bet the bug is because you have the constructor doing initial value assignment.  Joe Berkovitz posted a very detailed account of how Flex will screw you up if you do this in your VOs because the constructor is actually called AFTER all the variables have been assigned.  Pete then gave an explanation as to why we do this, which I forget.  In any case, it sucks.  So in your VO objects make sure that you don’t assign default values to the properties in your constructor (or if you must put checks in the constructor to make sure the value hasn’t already been defined).   HTH, Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Christoph Guse Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 10:36 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] complex Remote Objects   Hi Peter, I still have the problem with my complex Remote Objects.
