Hi all, I have been trying to use Remote-Object to pass complex data types from Flex to ColdFusion - to no avail. Simple arrays and strings can be passed easily, but as soon as I send an object all hell breaks loose.
I am running ColdFusion 7 (updater 3) on Win2K with Flex 1.5 (all on one machine) using Apache 2. If anyone has a working example on how to pass complex data types to ColdFusion that shows how I can read them out as argument.passedinobject I would greatly appreciate your help. Here is the situation: I am wrapping annotationdata into a shell object which is sent to a ColdFusion component. Using the debugger, I can see that the correctly formatted object is sent out. However, ColdFusion responds with "unknown error" if I try to access the passed in data. I don't get an error if I don't set a datatype or required to yes. However, I am also unable to access the passed in object.
