Web Services do not create custom VO's in Flex 2 or in Flex 3 prior to Beta 2. The RemoteClass tag that Jim Hayes mentioned is only for remoting.
In Flex 3 beta 2 there are two new options for working with compile-time objects and web services: 1. WSDL Importer. You can use the WSDL importer under Data to create a web service proxy class which creates AS3 objects matching those that will be returned by the web service. 2. SchemaTypeRegistry. You can use the new mx.rpc.xml.SchemaTypeRegistry class to associate an AS3 class with a QName so the Web Service runtime code will use your native objects. Not much info or discussion on this yet, but it's there and looks very promising. http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex/3/langref/mx/rpc/xml/SchemaTypeRegistry. html HTH, Sam ------------------------------------------- We're Hiring!

I have a .NET web service that sends a VO back as a result for one of its methods. The VO has 5 properties (4 strings, 1 uint), and one property that is another VO that contains 2 strings. Looks like this: ClientInfo uint string1 string2 string3 string4 ErrorObject string1 string2 This information gets returned to my Flex app no problem, but when I try to cast it to my client side ClientInfo object, it comes back as null or errors out. I'm trying like this inside my event handler: var clientInfo:ClientInfo = evt.result as ClientInfo; after this line, clientInfo is set to null. The object has the exact properties that it should, so what gives? I'm new to Flex, so I'm not sure if I'm expecting too much, I just kinda figured this would work...
