Thanks for the reply Seth.
I am now able to send an ArrayCollection of my custom class Chart:
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="factory.data.Chart")]
public class ChartObject
{
private var name:String;
private var axisList:ArrayCollection;
public function getAxisList():ArrayCollection {
return axisList;
}
}
And I can read the array in the java message handler, and it even detects the
objects in
the array as Charts but when I try to get the axisList array from within Chart,
it comes up
as null. The axisList is an array of objects from another custom class I have
called Axis.
Here is a sample of the java Chart class for reference:
public class Chart {
//import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
//import mx.controls.Image;
public String name;
public ArrayList axisList;
public ArrayList getAxisList() {
return axisList;
}
