Tnx Brendan,
I did try those. They seem a good "out of the box" starting point. It didn't
show me how to return the more complicated results though. It seems it's
tailored to just returning row 'a' to 'z' from table 'x'. The results i
receive are not much more usefull than say a xml output. If I want to
inspect the results and do things with it, I still have to loop through the
resultset and find the objects encapsulated within and cast them to my known
objects.
for (item in list)
{
var a :MyObject = new MyObject();
a.name = list[item]["name"];
etc....
}
This was something i hoped wouldn't be needed anymore when using remoting.
If you have any examples how you are returning complex results and how you
are using them in your app, I would be very happy to seen some examples.
Even very rough ones would point me in the right direction.
Tx.

Ben,
Have you looked into the CF Connectivity wizards for creating cfc's to
represent your AS object types? This is the way you're going to maintain
the "object" properties between server and client side. If you'd like, I
can blog an example of what I'm talking about.
