Yay, I got something working. I added in a couple actionscript classes
that map to my java classes...somehow. One is as follows:
package
{
[RemoteClass(alias="test.summary")]
[Bindable]
public class Summary {
public var clientName:String = "";
public var budget:int;
public function Summary() {
}
}
}
This works, now I can cast the properties that I get in the way you
said. Is this the only way of doing it? And if it is, is there a code
generation tool that will create these .as files automatically?
