I've seen a similar question asked on flex coders before, but it was about 2006 so things may have moved on since then!
I'm trying to fool the runtime into thinking one object is of a different type. The object is of type ObjectProxy so it can handle all the calls to the object it is proxying, and I'm trying to use the Proxy in place of the object it is proxying... Clear as mud? Basically... var obj : ObjectProxy = new ObjectProxy( new MyObject() ); var newObj : * = obj; works because the newObj variable is untyped. This isn't acceptable for a whole host of reasons (the loudest one appears to be that code hinting stops working at that point). var obj : ObjectProxy = new ObjectProxy( new MyObject() ); var newObj : MyObject = obj; throws a Type Coercion error as it cannot convert the Proxy to the strong type. Is there any way of fooling the runtime into thinking the type of the ObjectProxy is actually that of MyObject? Am I actually going mad, and trying to do something foolhardy and impossible? Gk.
