Re: [flexcoders] Cast Object into a custom class

[Evan Klein]

You should be able to cast this as a strongly typed 'Person' object.

var object:Object = new Object();

object.name = "name";
object.address = "address";

person:Person = object as Person;

trace ( person.name ); //name
trace ( person.address ); //address
