Description

I've created a patch to set explicitType to node->type. This is very useful because you can then set create an ASObject VO with RemoteClass(alias="node") or RemoteClass(alias="page") and it will automatically work, assuming identical properties. I've also attached to VOs that should work for node.get() with a page.

I only tested this for node.get() on AMFPHP 6.1 beta with Drupal 6.10! I don't know if it works for views.

In the future, this needs to be an option that you can check off like "Do you want to set ExplicitType?" and I think you should also be able to override it to any value you like. I am not good enough at Drupal to do this on my own.

I am also planning to release a SWC with some useful tools for dealing with Flex/Drupal apps, including the default VO set.

If anyone's interesting, I'm giving a presentation about this stuff today at DrupalCon.
