You could try using describeType (I think that only returns public
though).
Changed what is below on the fly from something similar I had that only
serialized accessors, so there might be syntax and other errors in
public static function toXml(obj:Object):XML {
var
oDescrCache:DescribeTypeCacheRecord=DescribeTypeCache.describeType(obj);
var oDescr:XML=oDescrCache.typeDescription;
var clazzName:[EMAIL PROTECTED];
var props:XMLList=oDescr..accessor;
var prop:XML;
var propName:String;
var propType:String;
var childXml:XML;
var oXml:XML=<{clazzName}/>;
for each (prop in props) {
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
if(propType=="String" || propType=="int" || propType=="Number"
|| propType=="Date") {
oXml['@'+ propName]=obj[propName];
} else if (propType=="mx.collections::ArrayCollection") {
for each (var childProp:Object in obj[propName] ) {
childXml=XMLSerializer.toXml(childProp);
oXml.appendChild(childXml);
}
} else {
childXml=XMLSerializer.toXml(obj[propName]);
oXml.appendChild(childXml);
}
}
return oXml;
}
Perhaps it helps you getting started
