Sorry I guess I wasn't clear, you absolutely can return arrays of typed structs and have them converted for you. That's the main point of doing this. You can return thousands of objects in arrays, and it is ridiculously faster then creating cfcs, you do not need LCDS to do this.
I mentioned the array because in Flex if you don't have an instance of the AddressBook object compiled into the app, it will come in as a generic object. But if it works when you return arrays of vos that were created with CreateObject, then that's not the problem. Is the AddressBook.cfc in your webroot or is it under some path? This : [RemoteClass(alias="AddressBook")] will only work (with this method) if AddressBook is in your webroot, if you use CreateObject it will work without the fully qualified path, but if you want to use this typed struct method you have to use the full path. So if your AddressBook is actually in com.vo.AddressBook then you have to use struct['__type__'] = 'com.vo.AddressBook' and [RemoteClass(alias="com.vo.AddressBook")] Sorry if I am making it sound more complicated then it is, but it basically boils down to making sure your __type__ is fully qualified and matches your alias.
