[osflash] Return everything inside a VO object issue (CakePHP/cakeAMFPHP)

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Well, I guess I found a way... didn´t tested it yet, but I guess it will
work as the logic seems ok

After returning the events rows I want with the Event´s model´s findAll()
method:

function getEvents($offset = '0',$limit='10') {

$events = $this->Event->findAll('event_data > $today');

I would then iterate over this collection:

var $returned_events = Array()

foreach ($events as $e) {

     $def_pic_id = $this->getRandomPic($e['id']);
     $e['defaultPictureID'] = $def_pic_id;
     $returned_events[] = $e;


}

return $returned_events;



}

I only need to find a way to map each of the returned_events[] items to the
EventVO class... does AMFPHP do that automatically when I configure in the
methodTable?

What do you think?

Cheers,

Marcelo Serpa.
