You can use this technique for typed objects too, you just need to
ensure that you have registered a remote alias for the class. This is
because ByteArray serialization is really making use of a player feature
that is intended for sending AS3 data to remote agents.
import com.something.FooObject;
//...
private static var reg:Boolean =
flash.net.registerClassAlias("com.whatever.FooObject",
com.something.FooObject);
See:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/flash/net/package.html#register
ClassAlias()
Or, if you're using MXMLC or Flex Builder to compile a Flex application
you can make use of the special class-level metadata by declaring
[RemoteClass(alias="com.whatever.FooObject")] above your class
definition.

All of these techniques copy generic objects (as in property containers,
name value pairs). Typed objects do not function in exactly the same
way. As a result, you can't clone them generically.

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
