Dan, If you have CF8, Google for "__type__" That is the key that does the automatic conversion of a structure into a typed object. This shows and example: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/UseFlexDataService_05.html It is easy to implement and it works well.
For the data type conversion check this out: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flashremoting/mx/Using_Flash_Remoting_MX/UseASData4.htm It is old, but it should be accurate.
