To handle classes like transform, I would come up with a custom encoding for the transform (or skip it entirely as the transform can usually be derived from other properties like scale, x, y, width, height, rotation). I didn't know you were trying to serialize display objects. Generally that's not advisable as there is a lot of redundancy and circular references in the properties. It is better to save away the data they present and some notion of which class to use to present the data.

How do I handle all the rest? Flex specific classes? Should I monkey patch? See error below my custom object needs to have all this serialized and dematerialized as well.: ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on flash.geom::Transform(). Expected 1, got 0.
