Excluding methods from RemoteClass serialization

Avatar

Level 2
I am using the RemoteClass attribute on several of my
actionscript classes to model my server-side Java classes. This all
works fine but I often find myself wishing I could add a property
to my actionscript class that would only exist on the client tier,
i.e. would not be serialized to the server when I send one of them
as an argument to the server.



Like for example, I have a Customer object which has an id,
name, and location. I make a request to the server and I get an
array of Customer objects back. But then during the course of my
application, the user may make changes to the data and I want to
keep track of which customers have been modified so I'd like to add
an IsDirty property to my actionscript Customer class. But if I do
this, I get an error because FDS tries to serialize the IsDirty
property into the server-side Java object which doesn't have that
property.



Is there any way to exclude a method from this serialization
process?
