In the example code below I don't even see any RemoteObject metadata.
Also, is the dg's dataprovider of ArrayElementType EmployeeVO? It's
unclear. It's not a question of data types alone - the metadata must be
present for the conversion to work correctly.

If you dg doesn't contain the same VO's you think you got from
the server, I'd double check the [RemoteClass] metadata.

coldfusion, but i don't think it matters- i'm trying to take an
actionscript object (the selectedItem of a datagrid) and cast it to
another actionscript object (my VO). i suspected the mx_internal_uid
property on the list item is messing me up, it's the only property that
comes into the VO from the datagrid that the VO does not have- so i got
to googling.

so now i have a base VO class that all my other VO's extend, and
in this superclass I loop over properties and remove that one, and now-
it all works fine.
thanks,
d.

i do get the employee list from a database, and I tried putting
RemoteClass metadata on the VO class with an alias- no luck- same error.

actually, the link was http://casario. blogs.com/
mmworld/2007/ 04/casting_ a_datag.html
<http://casario.blogs.com/mmworld/2007/04/casting_a_datag.html>
it's a very simple example of exactly what I'm trying to
do.

i tried setting it a property at a time and that
of course works- but i'll have to write much more code and it will be
harder to maintain.

Ok i think you can't do that since I am
looking at Adobe <http://www.adobe.com/> Flex Professional 2.0 wrox
book and they have a similar example and what they did was
EmployeeVO.employee ID =
objectName.employee ID;

ok, here is EmployeeVO.as
package com.winn.vo
{
[Bindable]
public class EmployeeVO
{
public var employeeID:uint;
public var roleID:Number;
public var employeeTypeID:
Number;
public var employeeStatusID:
Number;
}
}
then in my mxml file i have a simple
datagrid
<mx:DataGrid
id="employeeDataGrid"
width="100%" height="100%"
dataProvider="{ EmployeesModel.
getInstance( ).employeesList }"
>
with a click listener
employeeDataGrid. addEventListener (
MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler );
and here is clickHandler
public function clickHandler(
event:MouseEvent ):void
{
var testVO:EmployeeVO =
EmployeeVO(event. currentTarget. selectedItem) ;
Alert.show(testVO.
employeeID. toString( ));
}
and the selectedItem has these
properties.. .
employeeID = 1830 [0x726]
employeeStatusID = 2
employeeTypeID = 1
mx_internal_ uid = "D3C...."
roleID = 3

i tried your first suggestion, the
second one I had already tried- at least with this one I get an error
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion
failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to com.winn.vo. EmployeeVO.
Still the same question though, the
datatypes seem to be compatible- so why the error?
thanks,

Maybe this will help:
var testVO:EmployeeVO =
EmployeeVO(event. currentTarget. selectedItem) ;
or
var testVO:EmployeeVO =
event.currentTarget .selectedItem as EmployeeVO;
good luck,
