Bits are just bits. Some look like readable characters, others do not. When you send bits from a server to a Flex app, there has to be an agreement as to what the bits mean. If you want to send bits that become useful instances of data classes or value objects in Flex, you have to use AMF or SOAP and have the right decoder/encoder set up on the Flex side. Otherwise, you are going to get plain objects or ObjectProxy instances.
I've never used PDO or MySQL. I'm unclear what you are using to encode the type information in the bits. I seem to recall that PHP has an AMF capability. Not sure what MySQL APIs you are using. If you are using AMF, you have to have the registerClassAlias calls match the type identifier in the data stream.
