Sounds to me like you're accidentally declaring b.myC as a static, perhaps.
Actually, double check your examples (perhaps using the link report option on MXMLC). It might be that you're not actually referencing B and it's not becoming part of your SWF, in which case you're getting a "best guess" object where you think you're getting an instance of B (you can't check for "is B" without including it in your swf, but you can check for "!(is A)" without including the B class. In which case, it's the unmarshaller that's killing your data when trying to convert it to a B (becuase now it knows to do it, once you've referenced the class and it's in your SWF). Double check how you're defining C in your Flex *and in your Java*. Also, if it's the unmarshaller that's the problem, I'd definitely try a compile against Flex 3.01 and see if the problem goes away. If you've got a smallest-failiing case project for this bug it should only take you a few minutes. -Josh On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 9:53 AM, dmiramontesval <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Ummmmm actually my example is wrong, i was missing something, let me > explain again: > > I have 3 classes as a matter of fact, classes A and B are correct but > i forgot to mention that inside B there is an object C: > > [RemoteClass(alias="com.test.B")] > public class B { > public var id:Number; > public var name:String; > public var myC:C > } > > [RemoteClass(alias="com.test.C")] > public class C { > public var testVar1:Number; > public var testVar2:String; > } > > > A objectA = new A(); > objectA.myMap = new HashMap(); > B objectB1 = new B(); > C objectC1 = new C(); > objectB1.id = 1; > objectB1.name = "Test"; > objectC1.testVar1 = 2; > objectC1.testVar2 = "Hello"; > objectB1.myC = objectC1; > myMap.put("key1", objectB1); > > > Now here is the deal, the only property being reset is the C object, > the id and name properties are not reset > > > for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) { > if (i is B) { > trace(i.id + " " + i.name); > trace(i.myC.testVar1 + " " + i.myC.testVar2); > } > } > > The first trace works fine, but the second trace shows NaN and empty > string. > If i change the code to: > > for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) { > if (!(i is A)) { > trace(i.id + " " + i.name); > trace(i.myC.testVar1 + " " + i.myC.testVar2); > } > } > > Both traces work fine, prints 1 Test and 2 Hello. > > Like you said i have some logic inside the B constructor: > > public function B() { > myC = new C(); > } > > I commented the constructor and instead of getting the values reset i > got an error saying i tried to access a null reference, since C is > null (if i don't use an instance of B then it works fine). > > So i am kinda back where i started, when i use the B class the C > object inside each B object is reset. > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Josh McDonald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Right, I see.
