Tom,
How can you have missed everything ColdFusion team has been speaking about all
this time?
ColdFusion Extensions can make your life a lot easier (believe me). Generate
those files and you'll see what must implement, but basically
1) in your AS :
[RemoteClass(alias="mypath.to.my.cfcomponent.thiscaseReactorTomssql")]
2) your CFC (VO in CF side):
Have a alias attribute in your component tag with the dot path notation
like " mypath.to.my.cfcomponent.thiscaseReactorTomssql"
Have <cfproperty tags for each attribute and with same order like in
your AS file
With this, if you return an array of any CF component, that will be translated
to an ArrayCollection of your AS Value Object, so, no more castings.
In case you plan to use FDS, hasOne and hasMany properties inside your CFC
component should be defined
Company/employees (hasMany)/address(hasOne) example:
In your company component
<cfproperty name="employees" type="path.to.the.employees.component[]"/>
<cfset this.employees = arraynew(1)/>
<cfproperty name="address" type="path.to.the.address.component"/>
<cfset this.address = structnew()/>

You mean the ActionScript value object ? I'm guessing there is some
square-bracket compiler hint I need in the class ?

That would be the returnType of the CFC method being called ?

*Ahh* :-)
Choosing 'wizard' and then 'CFC' gives you the option to make ActionScript
classes too. That's a big help.
Wish me luck :-)
