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

Yeah dumping out evt.result was one of the first things I tried, it =20
is still giving me just plain old Object and not a TestObj.

I just installed Charles. Here are the results from testing this test =20=

Flex project, I'm not sure what it means but I can see TestObj class =20
being targeted (you can see that my object is actually in the =20
com.visionarium.timesheet package, a bit different from the example =20
previously posted):

impressive and helping greatly on my project.
