Sending custom object data to SalesForce from Flex

I have custom object that looks like this in ActionScript. There is a corresponding custom object in SalesForce called LineItem.

 

 

public class LineItem
{
  private var sfId:String;
  private var impressions:int;
  private var cpm:Number = 0.0;
  private var product:String;
  private var cost:Number;
  private var selected:Boolean;
 private var allocation:Number = 0.0;
}
 
 What is an clean/elegant way of serializing this object from ActionScript to XML and then sending it to SalesForce.
 
Do I inherit from SObject and override the toXML() method? I looked at examples of developer.salesforce.com but none of them do anything like this.

Hi,
 
Don know about eligance, but this is how i do it...
 
var o:Object 		= {};

o.impressions__C = impressions;
o.cpm__C = cpm;
o.product__C = product;
o.cost__C = cost;
o.selected__C = selected;
o.allocation__C = allocation;

o.type = "LineItem__C";  // o.type defines which object this is. 

var sObject:SObject 	= new SObject(o);
apex.create( [sObject],new AsyncResponder(handleSaveResult,handleFault) );
Alternatively, you could create a function in your action script class called getSObject():SObject which would do the above.
