Muzak, thank you for your help. However, I have already tried [RemoteClass] (which I mentioned in the original post). I also looked at the link that you provided and decided to try more combinations, but none worked. I have tried [RemoteClass] with and w/o [Bindable], [RemoteClass(alias="ByteArrayPlus")], and I made sure to use my class beforehand. In all cases I can get a custom class to retain its type, but ByteArrayPlus always gets read as ByteArray from the SharedObject.
I believe this may be a problem peculiar to ByteArray, but I don't know exactly why that would be so. Again, the challenge is this: make any class that extends ByteArray, write it to a SharedObject (to the disk), read it from the SharedObject, and have it retain its class. I know it sounds straightforward, but I cannot get it to work. --Geoff --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Muzak" <p.ginnebe...@...> wrote: > > Add a RemoteClass metadata tag to the custom class: > > Example at the bottom of the article > http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_How_to_keep_the_type_of_your_objects_when_serializ-8323.html > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Geoffrey" <geoff...@...> > To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 12:45 PM > Subject: [flexcoders] SharedObject problem/bug?
