Re: [amfphp] Returned amfphp custom class objects not getting properly cast

[Patrick M. <pat...@gm...>]

Hey old mate,

Your code looks good to me, the _explicitType, the RemoteClass, all
that is fine. I'm thinking it probably has to do with this piece here:

_testObjAC = new ArrayCollection( ArrayUtil.toArray(evt.result) );

Have you tried simply tracing evt.result is TestObj?

The thing that might help you is looking at it in Charles. Normally it
should be able to tell you if php has sent back a typed object or a
dummy object. If it sends back a typed object, then the error is on
the Flash side, somewhere along the line Flash is not using the
RemoteClass info for some bizarre reason. Let me know.
