Thanks for all of the help i have been getting from this board. With the help I have been able to progress in my flex development. I have progressed to remote objects and have the following issue.
When I return a remote object from php, I have no problem linking my server VO to my client VO, however, since php variables are not strong typed, I have a question of how to best convert the values that are returned from the server. When I have all of my flex VO class variables declared as strings, there is no problem with linking the server to the cliet, however, when I want to use a variable on the client as a date or a number, there is no direct conversion. Would someone be able to help with this issue, if I need to format the information, I understand how to do this, however, it seems like it defeats some of the power of the VO. As a concrete example, if I return lastLogin from the server where it is stored in MySQL as a data, it returns 2008-04-14. This is accepted by my flex vo as a string, however, what I would like is to have this as a date so if I link the value to a dateSelection field it is appropriate. Am I missing something in the area of VO's or do I just need to accept all values as strings and then convert them to the appropriate format when I use them. Thanks in advance for any help with this issue Don
