Hi, I think, you cant just send a typed object (a value object) like that. You will need services like RemoteObject to do that. The basic problem is that for a typed object, Flex will first serialize it in byte array (in AMF format) and then deserialize it back on the server side.
If you will look at the data property in API: data property data:Object [read-write] An object containing data to be transmitted with the URL request. The URLRequest API offers binary POST support and support for URL-encoded variables, as well as support for strings. The data object can be of ByteArray, URLVariables, or String type. This clearly specifies that data cannot be custom object. If its a custom object, then it needs to be first serialized in a byte array.
