Alright, so I found the answer myself. In order for me to get correct classmapping I had to map like this in my AS class: http://pastebin.com/f1ee02071 and like this in my php class: http://pastebin.com/f6d021f18

Now I get correct type mapping in both charles and flex

In amfphp my objects weren’t nested?

Also I can’t seem to use typecasting, I get an object back like this: http://i44.tinypic.com/zv4il5.jpg
Why is there a second object nested inside the ObjectProxy, should that be there?

I’d like a final answer to this: Is there no way to have flex automatically type cast the received object?
In charles I see that my objects are being returned as the correct class.

So for arrays of nested objects I should do a recursive function to type the children?

@garth Because you would have to iterate through the returned result and apply it to a new ContactVO object. If you used the above code without class mapping you would get an error:

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

You would have to do things like

myContactVO.firstname = event.result.firstname;
myContactVO.lastname = event.result.lastname;

So this could be done on a pretty flat object such as what we have here… EXAMPLE… however once you start having nested objects in your data structure of different typed objects it becomes really beneficial.

@Garth- I think it still saves us the ceremony of having to convert the received object to the desired type property by property.
