Well I have narrowed it down, it wasn't any of the collections stuff
as I previously thought.
It appears to be a public static final variable that I had defined
in my class.
class x {
...
public static final String TEST_KEY = "test";
...
}
With the above class I can retrieve it from the server and its fine
in flex but if I send that same instance back, I get the error about
the type being flashgateway.io.ASObject but it was expecting type X.
Is there a way around this, or do my objects just need to avoid
having these?
Thanks for the responses so far.
