instanceof validation error on checking value obects from server

Hi,

I am currently working on a project with openAMF, and any input on this 
problem would be greatly appreciated.

Jonathan

Here is our situation.We are successfully sending data to and from our 
server via openAMF. Using the following code, I can walk the objects 
properties and get name/value pairs.

        var item = result.result;

        for(var prop in item)
        {
            TRACE(Flashout.DEBUG + prop + ": " + item[prop]);   
        }

However, when I attempt to validate the object's class type in Flash 
like so:

TRACE(Flashout.DEBUG + "item instanceof 
com.rbx.selfservice.model.vo.ContentTemplate: " + (item instanceof 
com.rbx.selfservice.model.vo.ContentTemplate));

and Flash returns false every time. This happens for any object or 
collection of objects we send across. We are sometimes taking a result 
set collection of objects and setting it as a data provider to a 
mx.controls.DataGrid component. The data will appear in the datagrid, 
however, because it is not the class type that the datagrid is 
expecting, the datagrid renders the data, but quits responding to any 
click or change events. The only way I have been able to get our data to 
work is to manually parse the server response and manually create and 
populate the corresponding value object. Once I have completed that 
process, the datagrid will render data properly and respond to events 
normally.

All AS2 value objects are being successfully registered via the 
Object.registerClass(remoteObject, localObject); function.

The following is one of our simplest objects we are working with. I have 
attached a copy of our Java value object class, our AS2.0 value object, 
and our openamf-config.xml.

The server call we are testing with is getAContentTemplate();

Here is our Java class:
