Convert Dynamic Object to StringMap

Question

I'm saving a StringMap to SharedObject using OpenFl

Save to SharedObject

SO.data.users_arr = new StringMap<Dynamic>();
SO.data.users_arr.set("user1",{varOne:1,varTwo:2});

Retrieve from SharedObject

var users_arr : StringMap<Dynamic> = cast(SO.data.users_arr, StringMap<Dynamic>);

The retrieve gives me an error:

[Fault] exception, information=TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@b868371 to haxe.ds.StringMap.
lib/sim/model/SOControl.hx:37: characters 20-21 : Unexpected .

The question is: How can I reconvert a previously saved StringMap from a Dynamic Object?

Thanks!

Did you try an unsafe cast `var users_arr : StringMap = cast SO.data.users_arr;`? — Mark Knol, Jun 09 '17 at 19:32
Otherwise I would recommend to just use `Dynamic` instead of a StringMap. — Mark Knol, Jun 09 '17 at 19:34

The easiest solution is probably to use the Serialization mechanism built into Haxe. Here's some pseudo-code of how that could look like:

Saving:

SO.data.users_arr = Serializer.run(users_arr);

Loading:

var users_arr:StringMap<Dynamic> = Unserializer.run(SO.data.users_arr);

Yep, I think that should do it. I thought that there was a way without serializing. Thanks. – Antipirina Jun 09 '17 at 18:39
