Bug in Client API (EsObject.as)

[mike]

In the ActionScript 3 Client API, EsObject.toString() doesn't handle DataType.EsString correctly. It is handled as a number:

case DataType.Byte:
                    case DataType.Character:
                    case DataType.Double:
                    case DataType.Boolean:
                    case DataType.EsNumber:
                    case DataType.EsString:
                    case DataType.Float:
                    case DataType.Integer:
                    case DataType.Long:
                    	esobStr += dh.getLongValue().toString(10);
                    	break;

It should be handled as a String:

case DataType.EsString:
						esobStr += dh.getStringValue();
						break;

This bug causes an error to be thrown in one of the early examples/tutorials.

Thanks for this bug report - I'll try to get this fixed ASAP!

Another member of the dev team noticed this and fixed it in mid-November. The bug was introduced by a 3rd member of the dev team when he added support for the long data type to AS3. If you do not need support for longs, you can use the ES5.3 AS3 swc instead, which does not have this bug. That version of the client api will communicate happily with an ES5.3.1 server.

Perfect, thanks for the quick reply!
