[flexcoders] Re: Could not resolve * to a component implementation.

Glad that you were able to resolve the problem. The AS file IS a class, and if it lives in the same package as the mxml component, the compiler will balk; because it doesn't know which one to import elsewhere. Adobe best practice would have you use Uppercase for the first letter of all classes

Yup -- I'm using AMF. What you say makes good sense. Using the bytearray coould be risky especially since I can't depend on the property order always being the same. I haven't done much OO yet but I see your point about long term maintenance. The valueOf trick reminds me a lot of what I w

Well, then my take would be this: since you are sending them from CF, you are probably using AMF, and since you do so, you can use strongly typed objects, and (again, I'm not sure but...) I think that strongly typed objects are written accordingly to their describeType - this means objects are goin
