[flexcoders] Re: Converting the output of ObjectUtil.copy() to custom type

[Lucas Pereira]

Hi.
Right now I'm having the same problem.
I even found this:

public function cloneObject(o:Object):Object
{
 var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
 bytes.writeObject(o);
 bytes.position = 0;
 return bytes.readObject();
}

but ended up always in the casting problem :(

Had you find an answer?

Thanks

Best regards
