I don't believe it's possible.
However, if your objects "match", then perform a for .. in loop... you don't
need to copy them individually.
Eg.
Person.as
package
{
[Bindable]
public class Person
{
public function Person()
{
}
public var personName:String;
public var personAddress:String;
}
}
Test.as
var objectInstance:Object = new Object();
objectInstance.personName = 'Joe';
objectInstance.personAddress = '555 Joe St.';
newPerson = new Person();
for(var i:String in objectInstance)
{
newPerson[i] = objectInstance[i];
}
