wow. this seems like a lot of work to just map a VO object. Makes me
wonder if it is worth it. What's the point of mapping the objects if
you have to do the conversion manually anyway?
What is weird is that in another command, I have an array of VO's
being returned from PHP which all map correctly using the
$_explicitType variable. However, when i simply return only one VO
object from PHP, then I get the error.
I'll keep looking into this...
Thanks, Kevin

Kevin,
I'm in the same boat. I had to initialize my VO object in the
constructor. So, in your getUserInfo(), you would do (using my VO):
var teamData:TeamVO = new TeamVO(data.result);
and in your VO:
public function TeamVO(toSet:Object=null) {
registerClassAlias("com.mikecrowe.all.vo.TeamVO", TeamVO);
_uuid = UIDUtil.createUID();
if ( toSet ) {
try { uuid = toSet.uuid; } catch ( e:Error ) {
trace("Error setting uuid: "+e); }
try { id = toSet.id; } catch ( e:Error ) { trace("Error
setting id: "+e); }
try { created_by = toSet.created_by; } catch ( e:Error )
{ trace("Error setting created_by: "+e); }
try { created_on = parseDate(toSet.created_on); } catch
( e:Error ) { trace("Error setting created_on: "+e); }
try { updated_by = toSet.updated_by; } catch ( e:Error )
{ trace("Error setting updated_by: "+e); }
try { updated_on = parseDate(toSet.updated_on); } catch
( e:Error ) { trace("Error setting updated_on: "+e); }
try { parent_id = toSet.parent_id; } catch ( e:Error ) {
trace("Error setting parent_id: "+e); }
try { contact_id = toSet.contact_id; } catch ( e:Error )
{ trace("Error setting contact_id: "+e); }
try { cat_id = toSet.cat_id; } catch ( e:Error ) {
trace("Error setting cat_id: "+e); }
try { team_is_global = toSet.team_is_global; } catch (
e:Error ) { trace("Error setting team_is_global: "+e); }
try { team_organizat_personal =
toSet.team_organizat_personal; } catch ( e:Error ) { trace("Error
setting team_organizat_personal: "+e); }
try { team_abbreviation = toSet.team_abbreviation; }
catch ( e:Error ) { trace("Error setting team_abbreviation: "+e); }
try { team_name = toSet.team_name; } catch ( e:Error ) {
trace("Error setting team_name: "+e); }
try { team_emails = toSet.team_emails; } catch ( e:Error
) { trace("Error setting team_emails: "+e); }
}
}
Note: The individual try{} statements are important. I had it around
all the assignments before, and it ends up not initializing.
Additionally, I'm working on a templating system that creates all
the VO
objects, PHP objects, and a basic CRUD interface. It's crude now, but
working for me.
If you want to chat about it, IM me at mikecrowe (yahoo) or
