thanks to super Flex man João Fernandes for the solution here. In this example here I would have to add
import path.to.address; public var placeHolderAddreess:path.to.address; import path.to.customer; public var placeHolderCustomer:path.to.customer; Apparently the import is not enough, seemed to be ok in Flex 1.5. As João pointed out, must be a compiler efficiency approach. Thanks again João! peas DK On 6/22/06, Douglas Knudsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I put together a sample that shows this not working correctly > http://www.cubicleman.com/arraytest.zip > seems the array of address objects does get returned to Flex from CF, > but the debugger is showing that the elements are plain objects only, > not a addreess object. > > Seems something is wrong with my returntype on my CFC maybe?
