hessian.swc: Hessian client interface for ActionScript 3 (Flash) programs

What is Hessian?

The Hessian binary web service protocol makes web services usable without requiring a large framework, and without learning yet another alphabet soup of protocols. Because it is a binary protocol, it is well-suited to sending binary data without any need to extend the protocol with attachments.

And here's my AS3

Long and Date values

Hi there,

Could you elaborate on why long and date values aren't available? Is this a limitation of AS3 (to which I'm a newbie)?

Nice work!

If I remember correctly, long and date are 64-bit integers in Java (the language Hessian is primarily designed for), and there's no equivalent in AS3. You could store the value in a Number, I suppose, but it's not that straightforward.
