Re: Mapping objects

hmm, definitely try using service capture and see what that says about the 
object being sent to flash (i think you get a 30 day trial...i bought it because 
its an invaluable tool for remoting development)

one other thing i noticed which you should be aware of is that the constructor 
of the actionscript class gets called after de-serialization so you have to be 
careful what you do in your constructors.

read this post for more information :

anyway...back to the point..if you are getting a null that means that flash cant 
do that cast, so i think that the object is being sent as the correct type from 
java.

personally i would try these things (as well as using service capture)

1. Make both constructors parameter less

2. Remove the underscores from the properties

3. triple check the mapping configuration

4. Keep the Object.registerClass call as part of the initialization code in the 
Smacklet class

class com.flashdb.domain.Smacklet
{
     private var reg:Boolean = 
Object.registerClass("com.flashdb.domain.Smacklet",com.flashdb.domain.Smacklet);

  // Rest of class code
}


if it doesnt work after that then i try a liberal dose of swearing. :)

good luck.
